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-844-E is a medium-full maturity hybrid with strong yields and high resistance to greenbug biotypes C and E. It has good
head exertion that makes harvest easier and more predictable. This hybrid is very showy with deep red grain color, high test
weights, and excellent grain-weathering resistance. All of these characteristics combine to make W-844-E an excellent choice
for sorghum production. |
