Syngenta: 91 New Agrisure Corn Hybrids

Matt Hopkins Posted by Matt Hopkins|13 January 2009

Syngenta Seeds’ 2009 Agrisure lineup includes 91 new corn hybrids; 44 hybrids feature the Agrisure 3000GT triple stack, says the company. Syngenta says that Agrisure 3000GT hybrids protect against corn borer and corn rootworms and provide tolerance to in-season applications of either glyphosate herbicides such as Touchdown herbicide brands, or glufosinate herbicides such as Liberty or Ignite brands.

The new hybrids range from an early 72 days relative maturity (RM) to a late 118 days RM and feature agronomic characteristics such as drought tolerance, fast drydown, exceptional stalk strength, great standability and disease tolerance to help growers maximize yield, Syngenta says.

The 91 new corn hybrids include 34 new Garst hybrids, 26 new Golden Harvest hybrids, and 31 hybrids for NK.
