Information and ratings are based on comparisons with other Pioneer® brand products, not competitive products. Information and ratings are assigned by Pioneer Agronomists and Research Managers, based on average performance across area of adaptation under normal conditions, over a wide range of both climate and soil types, and may not predict future results. Product responses are variable and subject to any number of environmental, disease and pest pressures. Please use this information as only part of your product positioning decision. Refer to www.pioneer.com/products/wheat or contact a Pioneer sales professional for the latest and most complete listing of traits and scores for each Pioneer brand product and for product placement and management suggestions specific to your operation and local conditions.

HESSIAN FLY
R = Resistant/Tolerant, MR = Moderately Resistant/Tolerant, MS = Moderately Susceptible/Some Tolerance, S = Susceptible, in the primary area of adaptation. Genetic resistance/tolerance does not guarantee complete protection against all biotypes of Hessian fly. Growers should always follow sound insect management strategies, such as crop rotation, optimal planting date, scout fields for fly and apply insecticides as necessary for most effective control. Varietal reaction to Hessian fly was based on specific biotype screening tests as well as field screening for tolerance to predominant biotypes. Predominant biotypes may vary by region and change by season.
