Optimum AQUAmax hybrids help deliver a yield advantage in water-limited environments and offer top-end yield potential under more favorable growing conditions. Product performance in water-limited environments is variable and depends on many factors such as the severity and timing of moisture deficiency, heat stress, soil type, management practices and environmental stress as well as disease and pest pressures. All hybrids may exhibit reduced yield under water and heat stress. Individual results may vary.
