Syngenta reaffirms its long-time commitment to improving farmers’ return on investment with 63 new corn hybrids for the 2016 growing season. Resulting from the innovative Y.E.S. Yield Engineering System™, these new Golden Harvest®, NK® and Enogen® Corn hybrids are designed to improve farmer productivity and help them grow more corn.

The 2016 Syngenta corn hybrid portfolio offers a variety of maturities and key agronomic characteristics, delivering consistency, high performance and strong yield potential. The hybrids’ new-to-market genetics are expected to provide improved standability, disease tolerance and the flexibility to adapt to various soil and production environments.

The hybrids were developed using the Y.E.S. Yield Engineering System. This advanced program combines intelligent analytics, testing and technology to introduce new hybrids to the market faster. With ever-changing grower challenges, Syngenta can screen hybrid combinations quickly, using a global resource base to meet local farming communities’ needs more efficiently.

“The backbone of our Y.E.S. Yield Engineering System is our unique germplasm,” said Eric Boersma, product marketing manager, corn seed at Syngenta. “By tapping into the global pool of corn genetics offered by Syngenta, the new 2016 hybrids were developed to efficiently address environmental pressures to help growers maximize their yields and return on investment.”
