Syngenta has introduced 22 NK Soybean varieties in limited volumes for the 2015 growing season, including the industry’s first Maturity Group (MG) 000 variety for Canada and North Dakota.
“These new NK Soybean varieties offer strong genetic packages with both the offensive and defensive traits growers need in a range of maturities from Relative Maturity (RM) 000.9 to RM 7.3,” said Doug Tigges, soybean genetics product manager at Syngenta. “The additions expand our current lineup of high-yielding varieties with disease packages applicable to various growing conditions. Whether growers have a problem with Phytophthora, soybean cyst nematode (SCN), white mold, iron deficiency chlorosis or any other yield-limiting factor, we have a variety with the potential to perform well in their fields.”
The 22 new introductions enhance an already strong NK Soybean portfolio. Highlights include:
  • Nineteen new launches with SCN resistance in RM 0.6 and later 
  • Additional varieties with sudden death syndrome (SDS) resistance, complementing the current portfolio’s industry-leading SDS resistance ratings in RM 2.0-4.9 
  • Four new MG 0 products for rapidly expanding Northern soybean acres 
  • Three newly launched determinate varieties in RM 5.8 and later for Southern soybean growers
“NK Soybean varieties have proven performance in the field, but our quest to find new ways to help growers achieve even better results will continue,” Tigges said. “With a legacy of more than 45 years of top-performing soybean products, we are always looking ahead to help growers break through yield barriers by integrating best-in-class genetics, desirable traits and crop expertise.”
