ST 4678B2RF* is early to midmaturity. The early season vigor of this variety yields rapid and consistent stands. It is moderate in height and responsive to PGRs. It features a total package of yield and fiber for excellent profit potential.

ST 5458B2RF* is a mid- to full-maturity product. It produces yield and fiber quality packages similar to ST 4554B2RF, but matures about one week later. Plant height should be monitored and controlled with PGRs.
