INDIANAPOLIS — Mycogen Seeds is adding 19 new corn hybrids to the lineup for the 2015 growing season.
“Many of these new hybrids feature our SmartStax® Refuge Advanced® technology for maximum protection of the genetic potential and planting convenience,” said Hank King, U.S. corn marketing leader for Mycogen Seeds.
“We pressure-test our corn hybrids in more than 1 million research plots across 300 U.S. testing environments to better understand the challenges growers have on their local farm and give them the genetic and trait solutions they need,” said King.
“With our extensive testing program and continued investments in research and development, we are delivering top-performing products such as these.”
