Special and/or Unique Characteristics
Tall, ultra-early
Technology: RR
- Ultra early hybrid with dual purpose
potential
- Flowers early for faster grain setup
- Extremely fast drydown
- Very competitive yield for maturity
- Expect 16-18 kernel rows
- In two years of testing, SB-974RR out performed DKC 29-97 by 16.7 Bu.
- Also out yielded Pioneer's 39D95 by 2.5 Bu.
- Yielded 3.2 Bu. less than Pioneer 38V01, but was 1.6 points drier
- Very good ear flex for variable plant populations
