A tall, leafy hybrid with a moderately low ear placement that produces high yields of DDM/acre and competes in tonnage with hybrids that are later maturing. A strong choice for livestock operations trying to maximize tonnage per acre. TMF 114 is the TMF 113 hybrid with the NGBt1 gene added for protection against corn borer. Recommended final stands of 22,000 to 27,000.

*NFC Rating refers to Non-Fiber Carbohydrates. This is the starches and grains, energy which comes primarily from grain.
**WP Digestibility refers to Whole Plant Digestibility. This is the proportion of the plant utilized. The higher the value, the less waste there is.
***NDF refers to Neutral Detergent Fiber. This is the measure of the digestibility of the fiber portion of the plant. The higher the number, the greater the fiber digestibility.
