Xandra (Silage RM 105)

Xandra is a Leafy hybrid that maintains a wider leaf size to the top of the plant. She has both tonnage and quality.

Xandra is a Leafy hybrid: do not plant at populations higher than 28,000. Works in all kinds of tillage systems and rotations; strong in corn on corn. Plants are big and healthy, but if NCLB symptoms appear, consider a foliar fungicide application. Standability is good. Maintains health for a longer chopping window. Xandra is a high tonnage-producer with good feed quality. Has produced 30+ ton/ac under irrigation in ND for three years in a row. Great natural insect tolerance for above and below ground insects. We have seen this hybrid fight off a huge infestation of rootworms in an organic situation with minimal negative effect.

Pairs well with silage-specific Zelda (Silage 95). Good dual-purpose pairings are Vanessa (RM 103), Xena (RM 105), Dutchess (RM 108), and Jolene (RM 113) for the flex acres.
