JOHNSTON, Iowa — AgVenture Inc. announced 28 new hybrids available for 2022 planting.
Ranging in maturity from 79 to 116 days, these new hybrids are comprised of 22 brand new genetic platforms that will be planted in plots for the first time in this spring. Limited launch quantities are available of these hybrids for 2021 planting.
AgVenture is introducing seven new Qrome products, adding to its current portfolio of the most optimized corn rootworm trait on the market.
Product Portfolio Manager Darren Bakken noted the brand-new genetic platforms featured in these new launches out-yielded competitors by an average of 10.8 bushels per acre across 21,319 comparisons.
Other products in the new class include AgVenture brand corn with:
• Optimum AcreMax insect protection for above-ground pests.
• Optimum AcreMax Leptra insect protection for enhanced efficacy against ear-feeding pests and improved grain quality.
The new lineup also includes two new Optimum AQUAmax products bred to maximize profit potential and manage risk on drought-prone and highly productive acres.
“We are pleased to add these new hybrids to our already strong lineup of corn products,” Bakken said. “Our team works hard to ensure that our product lineups are built to maximize growers’ profit potential across a wide range of soil types and yield environments as they apply strategies from our Maximum Profit System throughout the growing season.”
