Farmer-focused research and development drives Golden Harvest® corn seed offeringsDOWNERS GROVE, Ill., USA, Aug. 31, 2021 – Golden Harvest announced today the addition of 19 new corn hybrids to its broadly adapted, game-changing corn portfolio. With corn harvest preparations just around the corner, farmers already have their eyes on the 2022 growing season and what’s needed for maximum yield potential in their fields.
New corn hybrids feature Agrisure and Enogen traitsBacked by the speed, power and precision of Syngenta Seeds research and development, the 19 new Golden Harvest corn hybrids range in relative maturity from 90 to 117 days and include:
- Four hybrids with Agrisure Artesian® technology, built for top-end yield potential and season-long water optimization.
- Six hybrids with the Agrisure Viptera® trait, the most comprehensive above-ground insect control and the only effective western bean cutworm control trait.
- 12 hybrids with the Agrisure Duracade® trait for above- and below-ground insect protection and the best-in-class corn rootworm control.
- 18 hybrids available as E-Z Refuge® seed blend products, providing a convenient, in-bag seed blend.
In select geographies, Golden Harvest will offer five new
Enogen® corn hybrids for 2022. In the ethanol market, Enogen corn for fuel enhances the ethanol production process by improving process efficiency, while Enogen corn for feed hybrids help deliver more available energy when incorporated into dairy or beef cattle rations.
