SW 3980
Conventional grain profile hybrid with additional dual purpose fit. Primary performer with grain with nice silage fit from central Pennsylvania and north. High end grain yield on rotated conventional acres. Good choice where northern corn blight can be a problem.
LIMITATIONS: High row count hybrid with limited ear flex. Keep populations at medium to high levels.
MANAGEMENT: Position on goodfirst or second year acres. Excellent option where there is a Northern Corn Leaf Blight history. Structured refuge option.

SW 1990 & SW 1994GT
Conventional and single trait glyphosate versions of this short season winner across Northern zones where good plant and ear size fit dual purpose acres. Maintains stature across variable conditions. Population flexible. Good early vigor, fast drydown, good starch and oil content for high quality feed on farm.
LIMITATIONS: Adequate roots for general use. Roots may not be adequate for muck soils.
MANAGEMENT: Use for short maturity, strong emergence, high grain yield in maturity and ability to produce across variable soil types.
SW 5410
Erect leaved conventional grain hybrid with consistent performance for grain and dual purpose acres. Exceptional drydown and test weight, including northern environments and cooler locations. Grain matures well when planted early and late, including the north.
LIMITATIONS: May show late season Northern Corn Leaf Blight of certain races – good record maintaining yield in presence of NCLB over years.
MANAGEMENT: Good choice across variable soils. Free native genetic resistance to first generation corn borer. Like other conventionals has limited resistance to second generation corn borer. Structured refuge option.
SW 6630GENSS (RIB)
Versatile SmartStax® hybrid with consistent yield and performance on more stress prone soils. Nice appearance late season with solid agronomics making a complete package. Good choice for variable soils, though it should not be limited to these sites.
LIMITATIONS: “Fungicide protection may provide additional boost in performance in corn after corn rotations, especially in the Mid-Atlantic, southward.
MANAGEMENT Nice finishing hybrid for maturity. Monitor grain moistures to prevent harvest losses as moistures can dip below optimum harvest ranges.
SW 6770GENSS (RIB) & SW 6770GENVT2P (RIB)
High yield history SmartStax® hybrid with consistent drydown making for profitable production. Widely adapted with ability to move south for grain. Good in early planting and reduced tillage where cooler soils are likely to be encountered.
LIMITATIONS: Limited ear flex – medium and higher populations maximize yield potential. The LibertyLink™ option is only available for the SW 6770GENSS RIB option. Not the SW 6770GENVT2P RIB option.
MANAGEMENT: Use as main season hybrid anywhere the maturity is grown.
