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-876-DR is one of the most consistent medium-full maturity hybrids available. Plants are highly resistant of foliar diseases
and have excellent seedling vigor. W-876-DR has great yield potential for maturity in marginal soils and good performance where
soil moisture is a limiting factor. |
