N 7371LC, released by Newton Seed Inc., has demonstrated fair resistance to black shank early in the season in some areas, but tests indicate that the resistance does not hold up later in the season. However, this variety will perform well under low black shank pressure. Growers planning to use this variety in fields with a black shank history should plan on also using fungicides. N 7371LC is a very late-maturing variety with a high number of long but narrow leaves and good quality. Topping may be slower than comparable varieties due to the smaller upright leaves in the top of the plant at topping time.
