Comments
The AgriPro variety has had its best yield results in southcentral Kansas, Coronado is a good variety for doublecropping behind a row crop or for late planting in general. It comes up and gets established quickly in the fall, even when planted late. It has shown good forage production potential. It tolerates acid soils well. Coronado is a variety that often looks a little too thin. Its leaf disease resistance is not as strong as it once was, but it still has good potential for southcentral Kansas, and is a good component of blends.
