CLEARFIELD XL729

First released in 2007, CLEARFIELD XL729 quickly became RiceTec’s premiere CLEARFIELD hybrid. Year after year, it has proven to be a mainstay workhorse hybrid, offering many great advantages over CLEARFIELD varieties:

• 24% average yield advantage in 6 years of head-to-head yield trials when compared to CLEARFIELD variety CL151 
  
  • Yield wins 92% of the time and Net Revenue wins 87% of the time*
• Standard milling yield
• Best available disease package
• 1-3 days earlier maturing than CL151
• Excellent ratoon potential
• Newpath®, Clearpath® and Beyond® tolerant

CLEARFIELD XL729 should be harvested at 18-20% moisture at first drydown to help maximize grain quality and grain retention. *Data based on grain price of $13.00 per cwt, and CLEARFIELD XL729 seed price of $140 per acre. Data set current as of 9/30/2011.
