Comments:
This Kansas State University variety was hurt by the drought in 2002, but has had some very good yields in recent years in northern Kansas. Karl 92 can fill grain from the stem if it loses its leaves, which helps it perform more consistently than many other varieties.
Karl 92 can be a good variety to use in high-residue situations, and for late planting. It has continued to be one of the best varieties for doublecropping behind a row crop. However, it is not a good variety to use on low-pH soils.
