Mycogen Seeds announces a robust soybean portfolio for the
2010 growing season, including 13 new soybean lines. The
company’s continued emphasis on providing top-notch soybeans is
now backed by a growing investment in research and development,
allowing Mycogen Seeds to offer soybeans with the leading trait
offerings.
The MYCOGEN® brand soybean lineup now includes the most recent
technology in the industry, Genuity™ Roundup Ready 2 Yield™.
Four elite MYCOGEN brand soybean varieties incorporate this
trait combination to help growers maximize their soybean yield
potential. This is in addition to nine new soybean products
containing Roundup Ready® technology.
“Growers can realize strong yields with optimum weed control,
since all of our lines feature either Roundup Ready or Genuity
Roundup Ready 2 Yield technology,” says John Kalthoff, Mycogen
Seeds marketing specialist. “And, growers can look forward to
even more added trait performance and new products in the
future.”
Genuity Roundup Ready 2 Yield Soybean Lines

Mid-Group 00 variety with great agronomics for the upper
Red River Valley. 5A004RR features excellent tolerance
to iron deficiency chlorosis and white mold. A strong
performer in early growing areas of the Dakotas and
Minnesota, this line is a great choice for narrow rows.
- Yield potential with a
very good defensive package make 5N142RR a
product of choice in Mid-Group I maturity. Excellent
emergence, great standability and medium branching plant
type allow good performance in all row widths.
- 5N222RR is a

resistance. It features very good standability,
performing well in all row widths. 5N263RR has wide east

This tall plant line, with very good standability, works
well in all row widths. It also provides both genetic
resistance and strong field tolerance to Phytophthora.
- 5N392RR is a
Late Group 3 soybean cyst nematode resistant line that
fits a wide range of cropping systems. High yields,
stress tolerance and disease tolerance, are a few of
this product’s many strong qualities. The addition of
stacked Roundup Ready herbicide tolerance makes 5N392RR
an excellent performing crop east to west.
- 5N450RR has
very high yield potential in favorable environments. Its
standability is very good and 5N450RR performs well in
all row widths. This branchy, taller plant type moves

Because of Mycogen Seed’s
increased commitment to soybeans, all soybean lines will now be
sold under the MYCOGEN® brand. In previous years, the soybeans
carried the Atlas brand.
“We are proud to offer growers a high return on their investment
and personalized service, in addition to high-yielding soybean
lines,” Kalthoff says. “Growers can be confident when they
choose MYCOGEN brand soybeans. They will be pleased with the
outcome.”
