New NK Hybrids and Varieties for 2019

Syngenta is releasing 32 new NK^® corn hybrids and 18 new NK soybean varieties for the 2019 growing season. Developed with best-in-class genetics, the new NK corn hybrids offer growers high-performing options for their fields. In local trials, this new class has shown a 4.4 bushels-per-acre (bu/A) yield advantage, compared with DeKalb^® brand hybrids, and a 5.4 bu/A advantage, compared with Pioneer^® brand hybrids.*

The new NK soybean varieties protect against a range of yield-robbing diseases and pests, including sudden death syndrome, sclerotinia white mold and soybean cyst nematodes.

NK breeders and researchers use an award-winning system of data analytics to pinpoint the characteristics most likely to help maximize yields. As a result, they’re able to deliver a range of new hybrids and varieties to market faster than ever before.

“In today’s competitive industry, it’s important for growers to have access to the most advanced technology.”
