Posted 24 January 2007. Crop Management. NK Brand Adds 13 Corn Hybrids for 2007 Planting NK Brand Seeds. Golden Valley, Minnesota (January 19, 2007)— NK® Brand Seeds increases its broad corn portfolio with the addition of 13 new hybrids for a total of 51 new products for the 2007 planting season. These new products, 11 of which include Agrisure™ traits for insect control and herbicide tolerance, provide growers expanded options for higher yields and better returns. The new hybrids are broadly adapted with maturities ranging from a very early 71 days to full season, 113 days. They feature agronomic characteristics for maximum performance across varied environments. For example, several are well-suited for corn-on-corn acres and others have strong emergence and seedling growth for early planted acres. For additional early season insect and disease protection, all NK Brand hybrids are treated with Cruiser Extreme® 250 seed treatment. “With the addition of these hybrids for the 2007 growing season, we are delivering on our commitment to help growers maximize yields,” said Marshall Kostiuk, NK Brand corn marketing manager. “Backed by the resources and research of Syngenta™, we are able to move quickly through the research and production process to meet in-field needs.” For the 2007 season, growers who plant a corn hybrid with any Agrisure trait, receive comprehensive assurances such as added protection against adverse weather conditions and other occurrences that result in trait loss. In addition, they automatically are eligible for AgriEdge™ Corn programs, which combine premium genetics, traits and crop protection solutions to maximize yield. AgriEdge includes flexibility in crop input decisions with additional assurances and trait reinvestments.
