Each hybrid and variety selected for the series is backed by demonstrated performance

The new Field Forged Series from NK Seeds, coming this fall, is built on strong agronomics and innovative product development. The inaugural lineup will feature a number of proven hybrids and varieties as well as the latest portfolio additions to come out of the Syngenta Seeds pipeline. The series will include 10 new NK corn hybrids, four new Enogen corn hybrids and 20 new NK soybean varieties for the 2022 growing season, selected for both agronomics and yield potential.­­

Each hybrid and variety selected for the series is backed by demonstrated performance and has been tested vigorously in the field. Showalter credits ongoing investments and increased efficiencies in research and development (R&D) to helping accelerate trait introgression and hybrid commercialisation.

Unmatched corn traits with improved standability

The NK corn portfolio includes high-yielding hybrids with industry-leading traits to meet a variety of needs in the field. New products in the Field Forged Series will feature advanced Agrisure Duracade, Agrisure Viptera and Agrisure Artesian traits, which protect genetic yield potential and offer premium above- and below-ground insect control in hybrids.

At the heart of developing new hybrids is Syngenta Seeds’ proprietary Stalk Crusher Technology, which measures stalk strength for improved standability.

The Field Forged Series introduces a step-change in innovation for NK soybeans — with varieties that pair the latest, most desired traits with proven, proprietary NK genetics. The product lineup will include the launch of proprietary Enlist E3 Soybean varieties and proprietary XtendFlex varieties
