For rust we provide information on the Rp gene(s) that are present in the hybrid (i.e. RpGDJ). These genes provide complete resistance as long as virulent races are not present.

NCLB M

Moderate

MDM MR

Moderately Resistant

HPPD/ALS T

Tolerant

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.
