Early Season
Early Season is an IMI hybrid that works in the Clearfield® Production System. It starts blooming at about 65 days, then keeps filling its heads for weeks after. Feed it a little extra nitrogen and it pays you back. Strong drought tolerance and excellent standability keep your dove field standing at 60-66 inches through the dry stretches of summer.
It can be sprayed with Beyond® herbicide. Always read and follow the label: Beyond® herbicide label (EPA).
