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-902-W is a medium-full maturity, food grade hybrid with outstanding grain quality. Plants respond well to increased soil
moisture and have good height uniformity. W-902-W is recommended for good management practices where high yields
are demanded. |
