Mycogen Seeds Offers Seven
New Corn Hybrids for 1999
Eagan, Minn., Jan. 25, 1999
. . . Mycogen Seeds is giving growers more solutions to the multiple challenges
they will face in their fields this spring with the introduction of seven
new corn hybrids for 1999.
The new releases (see table)
include four NatureGard® Bt hybrids with protection against European
corn borer (ECB); one Bt hybrid also is tolerant to imidazolinone herbicides.
"Since there are so many
variables from one acre to the next, there isn't any one corn hybrid that
offers the perfect solution," says Maynard Ochs, agronomy services
manager for Mycogen Seeds. "That's why it's so important Mycogen
continues to develop and offer growers a wide selection of hybrids that
meets their needs.
"These new products perform.
Field-trial results from all over the plains and High Plains prove our
hybrids yield well under a wide range of soil, water, weather, pest and
management conditions."
Along with these new grain
corn hybrids, Mycogen also is introducing new Totally Managed Feedstuffs®
(TMF) Silage-Specific™ corn hybrids, TMF alfalfa varieties, soybean
varieties, sunflower hybrids and grain sorghum hybrids.
