Fortunately, now there are more tools that are available to growers that are better at keeping the disease in check, to realize even bigger gains.

The combination of yield, maturity and unique disease resistance simply cannot be beat.  But when we take a closer look at the yield data they included, we are concerned about the way CS2000 is being represented.
