T800 is the amazing, all-new, single-
cros-s-cam hybrid specially developed by Trojan
for the cooler Canadian conditions.
Available in very limited quantities this
year, T800 can only be seen in Trojan Special
Test plots in the 2500-2700
CHU maturity areas.
"T800 is not tall plant
and it's handling high population
very well, " said Mr. Naud.
Speaking of another plot near Oshawa,
James Dickison said, "The standability of T800
seems to be as good as the later Trojan hybrids
— and. I've always found they have excellent
s tandab i l i ty.
"I'm looking forward to
seeing the results this
harvest," he said.
Check this newspaper for the results when Trojan's special Test plots
are harvested in this area. The plots are on the farms of Donald
Bean, Goderich, and Dan Kerr, Listowel.
