All ratings are general. Different pathotypes, races, and biotypes of diseases and insects can cause ratings to change.
All ratings are based on Warner field screenings and university screenings.
HR = High Resistance, HT = Highly Tolerant, T = Tolerant, MT = Moderately Tolerant, S = Susceptible, 1 = Poor, 10 = Excellent
Management Notes:
W-818-E is a medium-full maturity hybrid with unique orange grain color, excellent drought tolerance, and a high level of
resistance to charcoal rot. It has strong staygreen qualities that allow it to retain green lower leaves during late-season drought
stress in order to reduce lodging. With high top-end yield potential and outstanding plant characteristics, W-818-E will fit into
any field or operation. |
