• Sturdy stalk, strong root system, plus good ear retention provides good combine or ear
harvestability.
NC+ 5111 110-114 Days 2565 GDU’s
• Maturity fits between 4710 and 5990 with yields similar to 5990 and better than 4710 in
it's adapted area.
• Plant height is similar to 5990 with lower ear placement.
• Best adapted to medium plant populations.
• High scores for stalk lodging and ear retention.
• Attractive plants produce large girthy ears with deep kernels,
NC+ 5891 112-116 Days 2480 GDU’s
• Superior agronomic ratings for root strength, stalk quality and ear retention.
• Superior plant health with good resistance to many leaf and stalk diseases prevalent in
high moisture, humid environments.
• Produces high yields under stress or ideal conditions when population and management
are matched to growing conditions.
• Best choice of any 114 day hybrid planted from Nebraska, east into the central corn belt
and eastern states.
NC+ 5990 112-116 Days
• Our most popular, high demand hybrid.
• Rates excellent in ear retention, stalk and root strength
• Recognized as a food corn due to its high quality gram characteristics
• Excellent standability and fast grain dry down.
• Yields very well at moderate to high plant populations under conditions of drouth and heat
stress.
Excellent companion with earlier or fuller season hybrids
Very well adapted to all environments and one every corn grower should plant if
maturity fits.
