Disease resistance
Bm — moderate (Bm — southern helminthosporium)
The disease resistance data provided is based on multi-year field trials and experiments conducted by the University of Illinois, USA. Resistance to diseases may vary depending on local conditions.
High resistance (HR) — hybrids that strongly limit the growth and development of certain pests or pathogens under normal pest or pathogen pressure, compared to susceptible hybrids. Under strong pest or pathogen pressure, some disease symptoms or minor damage may appear on these hybrids.
Moderate resistance (IR) — hybrids that limit the growth and development of certain pests or pathogens, but may show more symptoms or damage compared to resistant hybrids. On moderately resistant hybrids, symptoms or damage still occur to a lesser extent than on susceptible hybrids under similar environmental conditions and/or equal pest or pathogen pressure.
