Mycogen Seeds is pleased to announce the introduction of 27
new grain corn hybrids to its lineup. Especially noteworthy are
several stacked-trait hybrids containing HERCULEX® XTRA Insect
Protection, LibertyLink® and Roundup Ready® technologies.
“We have a full lineup of corn hybrids with powerful traits to
protect growers’ yield all season long,” says Dave Schumacher,
Marketing Specialist, Mycogen Seeds. “These hybrids are proven
to perform through extensive company and on-farm testing.”
New grain corn hybrids
Featuring high test weight, strong standability and excellent
ear retention, 2K150 offers an early maturity of 82 days.
This new hybrid, designed for Northern grain production, has a
semi-flex ear type that helps adjust to variable soil conditions
and management practices.
Stacked with HERCULEX I Insect Protection and LibertyLink
technologies, 2G436 is a 96-day hybrid promoting a strong
agronomic package with very good ear flex and ear retention.
2P535 is a Quad-Stack™ hybrid that features HERCULEX XTRA
Insect Protection for powerful above- and below-ground insect
protection, in addition to Roundup Ready and LibertyLink
technology for expanded herbicide management options. This
103-day hybrid offers strong emergence, very good drought
tolerance and competitive yields in addition to providing
western Corn Belt growers good tolerance to Goss’s wilt.
Combining the herbicide-tolerant technologies of Roundup Ready
and LibertyLink with the unmatched insect protection of HERCULEX
XTRA, 2R693 is a 109-day hybrid with a superior agronomic
package. It has strong stalks, excellent staygreen and very good
gray leaf spot tolerance. 2R693 has shown very strong yield
performance in the eastern Corn Belt.
Showing strong east-to-west adaptation, 2M695 is a tall,
high-yielding Quad-Stack hybrid with very good stalks,
staygreen, gray leaf spot tolerance and fall intactness. This
110-day hybrid can be considered as a replacement for 2G689 in
the east and 2E764 in the west.
2M750, the Quad-Stack version of the popular 2M746
hybrid, has excellent agronomic qualities including
standability, drought-stress tolerance, staygreen and ear
retention, all which give it wide adaptability. Yield stability
over the years and environments are a major benefit to this
hybrid. 2M750 performs best at medium to full season maturities.
Widely adapted to the central Corn Belt, 2T789 has
outstanding yield potential from its long, girthy ears, plus
moderate gray leaf spot tolerance. This 114-day hybrid adds
below ground protection from HERCULEX XTRA Insect Protection and
combines Roundup Ready with LibertyLink technology to the
popular 2T780 hybrid.
2W814, a 115-day hybrid, is a medium-tall hybrid
featuring excellent standability, fall staygreen and gray leaf
spot tolerance. This hybrid will be a slightly later-maturing
companion hybrid to the 2T780 family.
“These new grain corn hybrids feature elite genetics so growers
get top-performing hybrids, excellent standability and,
ultimately, higher yields,” Schumacher says.
