Management Guidelines

• Mycogen® brand BMR hybrids are bred for highly digestible stover and grain components; a planned fertility program that provides adequate N, P and K throughout the season is highly recommended.
• Best performance when placed on soils with good water-supplying capacity, unless irrigation is an option.
• Consistent yield on fields with variable soil types.
• Strong root and stalk characteristics will support moderate to moderate-high plant densities.
• Monitor harvest moisture closely as harvest approaches; hybrids may be drier or wetter than physical appearance indicates.
• When storing BMR hybrids in a pile or a bunker, recommended moisture levels for harvesting range from 66 percent to 70 percent; for bags, 66 percent to 68 percent.
• Improved disease tolerance to northern corn leaf blight and gray leaf spot; monitor for fungicide application when disease presence is extremely high.
