HT-5509 is a hybrid that has no known weaknesses. If you want to pull the population back and use it as a stress corn it works, if you want to push it on better soils for top yields it works, if you want to make big tonnage on an early hybrid it works. It has the agronomics, trait options and disease package to be that versatile.
