GW = Goss’s Wilt (Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. nebraskensis)
PS = Common Rust (Puccinia sorghi)
NCLB = Northern Corn Leaf Blight (Exserohilum turcicum)
MDM = Maize dwarf mosaic (Maize Dwarf Mosaic Virus), also resistant to HPV (High Plains Virus) and SCMV (Sugarcane Mosaic Virus)
HPPD/ALS = Indicates reaction to ALS and HPPD inhibiting herbicides. Examples of herbicides with these modes of action are Accent (ALS), Callisto (HPPD), and Laudis (HPPD). Always read and follow herbicide label instructions.
