NK® Soybeans Deliver a New
Level of Yield – Now
Syngenta Seeds, Inc., one of the
world’s leading agricultural seed providers, has released nine
new NK Soybean products for the 2009 growing season. The new
brands deliver outstanding disease resistant packages including
Soybean Cyst Nematode (SCN) resistance in several varieties and
are all available treated with CruiserMaxx® Beans
seed treatment.
The new NK Soybeans products are available through Garst®,
Golden Harvest® and NK Seeds dealers (see the attached fact
sheet for further details regarding each new soybean brand). The
brands range from early-mid Maturity Group I to late-Maturity
Group IV and have performed strongly in performance trials.
“Our newest seed products demonstrate Syngenta’s commitment to
delivering elite genetics and agronomic packages that help
growers reach new levels of yield,” said Gene Kassmeyer, head of
the Syngenta Seeds soybean product line. “We are seeing
breakthroughs in soybean genetics by investing in our breeding
programs, maintaining genetic diversity and through the
experience of our breeders.”
The latest release follows Syngenta’s addition of 19 soybean
products earlier in the growing season. Research shows that NK
Soybeans have yielded more than 60 bushels/acre (bu/A) twice as
often as the competition, with some exceeding 90 bu/A.
“Our yield results represent Syngenta’s commitment to delivering
results for growers now. Soybean yields are built around genetic
advancements, and these products are examples of that,” said
Steve Knodle, NK Soybean Marketing Manager for Syngenta Seeds.
"Growers are telling us that NK Soybeans are delivering better
yields and in some cases their best yields. We are excited to
bring these new soybean releases to more growers and show them
how Syngenta is aiming to make the best even better to fit their
farm.”
