he modern, short, tough corn that takes heavy fertilization
Sensational DeKal|a XL Corn Varieties are
made-to-order for the quest toward higher
corn yields. In fact, it's such short, tough, re
sponsive hybrids that make intensive cultural
practices a practical—and profitable—reality.
Concentrated breeding gives DeKalb XL's the
ability to thrive in narrow rows at high popula
tions; the ability to respond in extra bushels to
higher levels of fertility, and the ability to stand
and retain ears well for a clean, fast harvest.
