Bob Wichmann, vice president,
North American sales.
"Rodgers's expertise with for
ages and inoculants will ensure
that customers who feed Pioneer
products will continue to receive
the wide selection of high quali
ty feedstuffs their animals need
for optimum production.:
“These new hybrids provide
growers with more options to
combat the weeds and insects
which can significantly lower
yields and reduce profitability,”
Haldeman said.
Roundup Ready hybrids are
tolerant to over-the-top applica
tion of Roundup Ultra™ herbi
cide. The Bt hybrids protect
yield against loss from
European com borer. The IMI
hybrids are tolerant to direct
applications of imidazolinone
based herbicides which are
labeled for use in IMI-Corn™
hybrids. The stacked-trait
hybrid will offer growers both
Roundup Ultra tolerance and
protection from corn borer dam
age.
Limited introductory quanti
ties of these varieties will be
available for farmers to plant
this year, Haldeman said.
Dekalb also will include the new
products in field trials and test
plots during the upcoming sea
