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
Attractive medium-statured hybrid with excellent late-season intactness and stay green. Consistent, girthy ears with looser husk cover and rapid drydown. Hybrid is best adapted to moderate populations with excellent Southern movement. Low green snap risk with impressive bottom end stability. Very good Gray Leaf Spot, Northern Corn Leaf Blight and Southern Rust tolerances. Excellent stalks and roots are protected by very good Anthranose Stalk Rot tolerance. Management is required in heavy Tar Spot areas.

A hybrid for those rough and tumble acres with high variability. A defensive to all purpose placement with a complete agronomic package. Excels and separates in low end to moderate yield environments to comfortably “plant it and forget it”. Has the plant size to take steeper slopes and high plateaus as well as good yield punch in the first and second bottoms. Root, stalk, greensnap tolerance and drought defense lead the way. A strong choice for difficult growing conditions.

We know it has the agronomics, but the yield punch is incredible. Very high and consistent yields in its element of southern Iowa and south half of Illinois. A compact plant that has a broad stance with canopy and deep, rich color. Is simply a sugar factory. A girthy, yet semi-determined ear will excel with higher seeding rates. The overall stress tolerance, particularly the ability to withstand heat and longer periods without rainfall make a strong, yet high-performing hybrid for the central corn belt and mid-south.

Nice combination of yield potential and agronomic traits that can perform across a wide range of geography and management levels. High kernel counts from flex in ear length and girth, plus the ability to completely fill the ear, brings out the top-end yield punch. 14-36 responds well to lower seeding rates and overall plant densities, no reason to crowd it. Total agronomy characteristics are led by the root and stalk strength, early season vigor, late season intactness and stay-green. Medium-tall plant type with lower ear placement accentuates the stalk quality and lowers risk of green snap.
