TriMark 336

Primary Uses

TriMark® 336 has shown excellent adaptability to all production areas of eastern Washington.

Its aggressive growth characteristics have served it well in deep furrow planting in the dry zone, and in winter recropping in both the dry and intermediate zones. When combined with the stronger and deeper root system, it helps explain how TriMark® 336 has been very competitive with Eltan in gross dollars per acre in both of these situations. The stronger and deeper roots also help 336 to access more nitrogen late in the season, thus aiding in production of higher protein levels.

These same attributes also make TriMark® 336 attractive for direct seeding operations.
