7182 | Poncho® 250

Hybrid Description

• Big, robust plant style with less erect leaf angle creating good canopy between the rows

• Dual purpose grain and silage hybrid perfect for southern growing areas

• Tremendous heat and drought stress tolerance

• Great ear flex allowing it to take advantage of good growing conditioning even at lower populations

Management Characteristics

• Use only as a dryland hybrid where you expect to have periods of heat and drought stress

• Strong rooting hybrid that shows its advantages in tough clay soils

• Really good late season plant health and standability makes it a good choice for fields planned for the end of harvest

• Tends to be a lighter shade of green during the growing season so not an indication of fertility shortages

• Monitor Gray Leaf Spot and other diseases for potential need of fungicide to maintain health and yield performance
