Garst Seed Company
recently announced it is adding 47 new corn hybrids to its 08
lineup, including hybrids with Agrisure 3000GT the first ever
quad corn trait stack released by parent company Syngenta.
Agrisure 3000GT offers a complete trait package, combining
glyphosate and Liberty herbicide tolerance with corn borer and
rootworm resistance. It and other Agrisure trait stacks are
available in many Garst hybrids.
Were thrilled to offer growers our first quad-stack hybrids in
time for the 2008 growing season, said Rick Henley, corn crop
manager with Garst. Our Agrisure corn traits have consistently
proven their higher yield potential and give growers another
choice in the marketplace. Our full lineup of hybrids with
powerful traits, along with exceptional agronomics, will protect
our customers yields all season long.
Agrisure CB/LL/RW combining tolerance to Liberty (LL) herbicide
with corn borer (CB) and rootworm (RW) resistance has proven to
exhibit higher yields than non-trait versions. In 2006 trials,
Agrisure CB/LL/RW hybrids showed a 42-bushel yield advantage
compared to the same genetics without RW or CB/LL traits.
In addition to Agrisure traits, Garst will continue to offer
growers the AgriEdge Corn program that combines premium
genetics, traits and crop protection solutions to help maximize
yields and profitability. The AgriEdge program gives growers the
flexibility to choose which products work best on their farms. A
wide range of crop solutions is available, but growers pay only
for the technology they use. Syngenta reimburses them for the
full value of the unused trait.
New trait offerings provide significant value to our customers,
but theyre not the only benefit of doing business with Garst. We
pride ourselves on sound agronomics and proven high yields that
help growers meet the challenges of 21st century agriculture,
Henley said. Our brand promise is Changing the Landscape. and
its our ongoing commitment to be the innovative seed brand that
creates the most value for growers.
For the 2008 planting season, Garsts full corn lineup includes
hybrids with 76 to 120 general relative maturities (GRM).
