Migro M-0707
A yield champion.
Maturity: 120-122 days. A
newcomer to Migro’s full-season
lineup. Last year, this hybrid was
already making a name for itself in
head to head competition with
other hybrids in a lot of yield trails.
This year average of 8 local tests
yielded 155 bu. per acre.
Yield is not its only claim to
fame. This exciting new hybrid is
noted for great root strength,
sturdy stalks and good stan
dability. M-0707 shows resistance
to a wide range of diseases in
cluding blight and anthracnose.
Put in M-0707 for populations of
20,000 to 24,000 plants per acre.
Its unique upright leaf charac
teristic lets in extra air and sun
which help speed up the drying
process in the fall. Another plus
for this hybrid is it will give big
silage tonnage. ,
