  • Wide east-to-west adaptation across full-season growing areas

2Y739 — 113-day RM (HXX/RR)

  • Produces high yield with outstanding grain quality
  • Adapted east to west across central Corn Belt
  • Performs best at medium to medium-high plant densities
  • Good companion to 2T780 family

NC+

5717VT3 — 114-day RM (YGVT3/RR2)

  • Widely adapted, top-end product
  • Good tolerance to gray leaf spot
  • Improved stalks, roots
  • Avoid areas with high green snap potential

5882VT3 — 115-day RM (YGVT3/RR2)

  • Excellent choice for early planting. Well adapted to variable soil types.
  • Stalks, roots provide excellent late-season standability
  • Performs well in high stress environments
  • Fixed ear type; maintain medium to high populations for top-end yield potential

6082VT3 — 116-day RM (YGVT3/RR2)

  • Use for early corn planted early, reduced tillage systems
  • Top choice for high-yield potential in western environments
  • Taller plant type with excellent canopy cover
  • Produces high test weight grain

NK

N73V-3000GT — 113-day RM (GT/CB/LL/RW)

  • Excellent top-end yield potential
  • Solid agronomics package with very good stalks, roots, drought tolerance, fast drydown
  • Resistance to GLS, NCLB
  • Characterized for dry-grind ethanol

N74C-3000GT — 113-day RM (GT/CB/LL/RW)

  • Top-end yield, grain quality
