Des Moines, Iowa, US-based Pioneiro Hi-Bred, a DuPont business, is releasing 96 new Pioneer brand corn products to growers across North America for the 2009 planting season, Pioneer announced in a press release. The new hybrids include 39 new genetic platforms providing improved genetic gain across all maturities, says the company, and features new double-stack and triple-stack products with Herculex insect protection and the Roundup Ready® Corn 2 trait.

Of the 96 new commercial hybrids, 35 are double-stack products. These hybrids contain the Herculex I gene and the Roundup Ready Corn 2 trait. The Herculex I trait protects against European and southwestern corn borer, western bean cutworm, black cutworm, fall armyworm, corn earworm, sugarcane borer, southern cornstalk borer, and lesser cornstalk borer.

This 2009 class also contains 36 triple-stack hybrids, with protection featuring the Herculex XTRA traits. Herculex XTRA is a combination of Herculex I and Herculex RW rootworm protection, which in addition to above-ground protection, delivers below-ground protection from western, northern, and Mexican corn rootworms.
