WE'RE GOING BACK TO OUR ROOTS
We’re returning NC+ to the West. Who we are. Where we’ve come from. What we stand for. As part of that action, we’re re-introducing the NC+ system for numbering corn hybrids. We’ve gone into the archives. We’ve spoken with past NC+ product managers and salesmen. The result is the number system NC+ was built on. To be clear: the existing, consistent-performing hybrids and varieties you know will not change. But from this point forward, we’re going back to the roots of NC+.
Here are the maturity ranges for our new hybrid numbering system:
1001-1999: RM 93 and below
2000-2999: RM 94-97
3000-3999: RM 98-101
4000-4999: RM 102-105
5000-5999: RM 106-109
6000-6999: RM 110-113
7000-7999: RM 114-117
8000-8999: RM 118 and above
Excellent yield potential with a broad east to west footprint. Excellent early vigor and emergence provides a solid foudation to 08-70 VT2PRIBs performance. Above average pH tolerance and excellent greensnap tolerance make for strong western movement. This medium statured plant with a semi-flex ear performs best in and north of zone. Superior Gosss Wilt tolerance and Anthracnose Stalk Rot tolerance. Very good staygreen and drydown provide a strong finish to a solid 108 day hybrid. Fungicide recommended in known Souther Rust areas.

Solid, compact, and sturdy, with eye opening yield capability. A hybrid that simply does the job beginning with very good, uniform emergence. A moderate sized plant, with a deep rich color and health that leaves it intact with good stay green at harvest, aided by the ASR gene to combat anthracnose stalk rot late in the season. A semi-determined ear with 16-18 kernel rows on a small cob that packs grain in tightly, with a deep kernel set. Is well placed south of maturity due to heat tolerance as well as movement north, where it would be a full season hybrid.

A strong, robust hybrid that plants its way from tough to top performing farms. A great start lends to a great finish as this hybrid emerges, establishes stand, and moves to canopy in quick and early fashion. As strong a root system as you will find along with a strong stalk and low risk of greensnap supports and fuels a girthy, semi-flex ear type. Drought and heat tolerance attract it to southern corn-belt climates, and Goss Wilt defense makes for great western movement as well. Late health and standability complete an outstanding package for wide acre purposes.

Widely adapted for moderate to high-yield level environments. The Medium-Tall plant has long leaves that are semi-relaxed in the lower canopy and upright in the upper canopy for better light interception by the ear leaf. The girthy ear has tightly packed kernels with good length while generally having some tip on the ear. Strong response to fungicide in tar spot and southern rust environments. This VT4Pro® hybrid brings black cutworm, western bean cutworm and corn earworm protection over a SmartStax® hybrid with very good corn rootworm protection.

Impressive top end yield, with a strong back-bone of stress tolerance led by root strength, very low greensnap risk, and Goss’ Wilt defense. The semi-determined ear is blocky with good kernel count that can produce under more stressed conditions, at the same time able to yield at the top end with increased seeding rates. A moderate plant height and stature assists the stalk strength, late standability while lowering greensnap risk. With that size will want to use caution on light, sandy soils, high pH soils and steep slopes.
