All ratings are based on local field screenings and university screenings
HR= High Resistance, HT= Highly Tolerant, T= Tolerant, MT= Moderately Tolerant, S= Susceptible
1= Poor, 10= Excellent
Management Notes:
Tall plants and high yielding. This hybrid gives you all the advantages of male-sterility. FS-
TWO can be used for a wide variety of production practices.
