SW 5440GENSS (RIB) & SW 5440GENVT2P (RIB)
Exceptional grain yield potential. Proven performers in wide area of adaptation. Moves south better than SW 5430, the established product in the maturity. High and consistent grain performance including the mid-south.
LIMITATIONS: Low populations could limit yield potential. The LibertyLink™ option is only available for the SW 5440GENSS RIB option. Not the SW 5440GENVT2P RIB option.
MANAGEMENT: Plant populations should be on the high side for the soil resource and managed for high yield.

SW 2359 3000GT
High and stable grain yield for northern grain production with cooler temperatures. Can yield with longer season maturities and dry faster. Long rotation fit with rootworm and corn borer protection. Smaller hybrid in stature, holding plant size across variable conditions. Excellent stalks/roots for harvest flexibility.
LIMITATIONS: Medium cold soil tolerance.
MANAGEMENT: Use for any position in the corn rotation, including late cycle where corn borer and rootworm risk increase significantly.
SW 3970 3111 New!
Exceptionally wide adaptation where the maturity is grown, including the mid-south. Medium to short plant height in the south with height increasing in the north, especially with later northern planting. Special hybrid with early maturity, yield. Keep populations on the higher side, especially for silage.
MANAGEMENT: Keep populations on the higher side for the soil resource.
SW 3854RR
Single-trait Roundup® with excellent southern and northern adaptation for easy placement. Versatile across soil types and harvest methods. Also versatile for grain, snaplage, silage, and any type of harvest methods. Native Anthracnose stalk rot resistance.
LIMITATIONS: No trait insect protection.
MANAGEMENT: Versatile, all uses, adds genetic diversity while fitting most rotation needs – performed in high residue conditions. Structured refuge option.
SW 3980
Conventional grain profile hybrid with additional dual purpose fit. Primary performer with grain with nice silage fit from central Pennsylvania and north. High end grain yield on rotated conventional acres. Good choice where northern corn blight can be a problem.
LIMITATIONS: High row count hybrid with limited ear flex. Keep populations at medium to high levels.
MANAGEMENT: Position on goodfirst or second year acres. Excellent option where there is a Northern Corn Leaf Blight history. Structured refuge option.
