Tar Spot Rating: Ratings denoted with double numerals (e.g. 11 or 22) reflect preliminary data subject to change when additional data becomes available.

IMPORTANT: Characteristic scores provide key information useful in selecting and managing products in your area. Information and ratings are based on comparisons with other products sold by AgVenture, Inc. Individual results may vary, and performance may vary from location to location and from year to year. This result may not be an indicator of results you may obtain as local growing, soil, and weather conditions may vary. Growers should evaluate data from multiple locations and years whenever possible. Scores represent an average of performance data across areas of adaptation, multiple growing conditions, and a wide range of both climate and soil types, and may not predict future results. Individual product responses are variable and subject to a variety of environmental, disease, and pest pressures. Please use this information as only one component of your product positioning decision.
