It was selected for yield and persistence and is especially well suited to areas where Verticillium wilt, Phytophthora and Nematodes threaten yield production and reduce stand life.
Top Yield Performance
1S-1055 has demonstrated excellent yield ability out yielding varieties like Pioneer 53V63, Pioneer 53Q63, Pioneer 54V54, Pioneer 54Q53, Forecast 1001, HybriForce 400, Rebound 4.2,Vernema, Vernal, and WL 319 HQ in Western trials.
