Jeff Wheeler, Asgrow business lead, said the integration will support one comprehensive soybean testing program as Delta and Pine Land’s numerous testing locations will enable new Asgrow varieties to be evaluated and advanced based on a wide range of local agronomic conditions.

Kevin Eblen, Delta and Pine Land business lead in Memphis, Tenn., said the Asgrow brand’s elite genetics, molecular breeding advances, and new trait innovations delivering consistent performance and high-yield potential will be combined with Deltapine’s extensive Southern breeding experience and high quality genetics that fit later maturity groups and deliver the agronomic characteristics that Southern farmers want.
