Pride Seeds has
announced the launch of 18 new corn hybrids for Canadian corn
producers. “As part of our largest new product launch in Pride
Seeds history between now and later fall, we are bringing to the
market a range of new products to meet the expanding needs of
our customers,” notes Stephen Denys, Vice President of Sales and
Marketing with Pride Seeds. “This launch includes YieldGard® Bt
together with Roundup Ready®, double stack (Roundup Ready with
YieldGard Corn Borer) and a complete range of new Pride G3
triple stacked hybrids that all feature the new YieldGard VT®
Triple second generation rootworm technology.
“While some of our competitors are
launching their first generation rootworm technology, we have
moved exclusively toward the launch of second generation
rootworm technology that provides more consistent rootworm
control along with complete inside out insect protection and
with the added benefit of the Roundup Ready crop safety yield
advantage.”
Denys says Pride is one of the
fastest growing seed companies in Canada today. He attributes
the growth to not only product performance but also the
company’s ServiceONE program that provides complete support to
customers from planting through harvest. “Whether you buy one
bag or 500 bags from Pride, we support our products through the
season through ServiceONE which includes our 100% corn replant
policy and 48 hour service call program.”
“In almost every maturity range,
Pride Seeds now offers the best genetics and trait combinations
for producers,” says Fred Sinclair, Product Development Manager
with Pride Seeds. “Also, very importantly, we offer the best
refuge hybrids to complement our single and stacked trait
hybrids to ensure producers meet their stewardship obligations
without sacrificing performance.” Sinclair says the company will
announce additional new hybrids later this fall including an
expanded selection of traited hybrids for the new genetic
families featured in this announcement.
