Belle 1161 PRO

Belle 1161 PRO is a new early hybrid that combines yield and solid agronomics. It is sometimes difficult to nail down an "early" hybrid with "mid-season" maturity yield potential, but Belle 1161 PRO is getting it done. Side-by-side tests of this hybrid with the VT3 had an increase 10-12 bushels per acre from the PRO version.

Belle 1363 PRO

A 113 day hybrid with strong stalks and roots with excellent grain quality. Belle 1363 PRO is a new combination that has the "look". It is very sharp in the field and brings home the performance –– now with PRO protection.

Belle 1545 PRO

Consistent, stable, reliable, versatile, dependable. What else can you say!? Belle 1545 PRO is a leading seller for these reasons. There may be "race horse" hybrids that out yield it in plots, but in farmers’ fields Belle 1545 PRO is SOLID year-after-year - irrigated or dryland.

Belle 1560 PRO

Belle 1560 PRO is a new addition to the mid-season lineup for Belle Southern hybrids. Belle 1560 PRO offers superior standibility both in roots and stalks, plus outstanding grain quality. It is super easy to harvest as the plants are more compact and not as tall as many of the hybrids on the market. Belle 1560 PRO is a great companion for Belle 1545 PRO.

Belle 1655 PRO

Released in 2009, Belle 1655 PRO is quickly gaining in popularity across the South. It is a tall hybrid with a higher eat set. It has shown to be a steady performer from Kentucky to Texas! The ear size is very consistent and the grain quality is very good. Belle 1655 is available in the PRO, VT3 and RR versions.

Belle 1868 PRO

Belle 1868 PRO is an absolute BEAST on good, strong, fertile cotton soils. Put this hybrid on your best ground, fertilize and water it well. And it will knock the top out of the yield! Super, super healthy with excellent late season stay green. Strong stalks and roots plus an outstanding canopy on wide rows. The PRO trait will keep the tips clean from corn earworm damage.
