Vanessa (RM 103)
Vanessa excels in loamy soils and following corn or sugarbeets.Vanessa adapts to extremes in environments; whether it’s heat, lack of moisture, constant winds, or just generally tough conditions, Vanessa powers through with open leaves and a vibrant green color. In drought areas, manage this hybrid with 20-40% lower population; huge flex ears will compensate from 14,000-21,000 ppa. Not suitable for late planting. Carries 1% extra MST because of excellent plant health. Tall plant with deep green leaves. Has excellent feed value as silage and grain. Stands out in high stress, low population situations. Excellent choice for flex silage acres. A good option for regenerative farming. This is our choice for skip row planting – but do not raise populations!
Pairs well with Maria (RM 101) and Scarlett (RM 103) on most acres and with Quin (RM 95) on high-stress acres.
