Developed specifically for the northeast and notable for its high yield potential, Playmaker (with X10R®) is the first commercial variety with intermediate resistance to bacterial leaf spot races 0-10 and phytophthora blight — resulting in easier management for growers in comparison to other varieties such as Aristotle.
Features

Agronomic Tips
- Growers who have become familiar with the successful management of Aristotle (with X3R®) should not need to modify their production practices very much to be successful with Playmaker, due to its similarity to Aristotle (with X3R®) Generally, aggressive fertility through the vegetative development of the crop is desired, to encourage larger plant size and less misshapen fruit due to crowding
