Exotic Germplasm / Challenges:Exotic Germplasm / Challenges:Exotic Germplasm / Challenges:Exotic Germplasm / Challenges:

Difficult to evaluatePhotoperiod Sensitivity unattractive phenotype

Tall plants with high ear placement

Standability Issues generally have weak rootsHigh Harvest Moisture generally later maturity

Tight husks and slow dry-down

Requires more ResourcesLarger Popn size and more segregates to evaluateLong Term Investment (success in 2nd to 3rd Gen.)
