	View Edit Domain: GreenBio Title: * Body: Producers can count on more oil per acre from the six new hybrids <a href="http://www.mycogen.com/" target="_blank">Mycogen Seeds</a> has added to its sunflower portfolio for 2010. <br /> <br /> These high-performance hybrids offer the industry leading technology, with options for downy mildew (DM) resistance, CLEARFIELD® herbicide technology or both.<br /> <br /> “It’s an exciting year for Mycogen Seeds. We have a strong line up of new hybrids, in addition to several grower favorites,” says John Kalthoff, oil seeds marketing specialist, Mycogen Seeds. “We are proud to have the ability to offer growers a large number of choices and opportunities for increased premiums.”<br /> <br /> <strong>New Sunflower Hybrids</strong><br /> <br /> <ul> <li>8N270CLDM is Mycogen Seeds’ earliest CLEARFIELD hybrid with genetic resistance to DM. Its appearance, yield, plant health, and root- and stalk-lodging characteristics are similar to 8N270. This hybrid is well-suited for the NuSun® oil, bird food and hulling markets.</li> <li>A full-season, DM-resistant hybrid, 8N433DM is a medium-tall plant with excellent tolerance to root lodging. It features very good oil content and a solid NuSun oil profile with oleic acid levels in the mid-60s.</li> <li>8H288CLDM is an early maturing high oleic hybrid with genetic resistance to all known U.S. races of DM and CLEARFIELD herbicide technology. Medium-short plants produce good yields of very high oil content seed. 8H288CLDM also has superior drydown characteristics.</li> <li>Hybrid 8H419CLDM provides genetic resistance to all known U.S. DM races. This medium full-season hybrid is widely adapted when planted in a timely manner, and offers additional protection with the built-in CLEARFIELD trait. 8H419CLDM is a DM-resistant version of 8H419CL.</li> <li>8H449CLDM is a CLEARFIELD version of hybrid 8H449DM with genetic resistance to all U.S. DM races. This mid- to late-oleic hybrid yields excellent oil content and very high oleic levels.</li> <li>An early NuSun hybrid that combines DM resistance and the CLEARFIELD trait, 8N358CLDM is a medium height, mid-season hybrid with good drydown characteristics. Suited for shorter growing seasons in Northern regions, this hybrid is proven to deliver high oil levels.</li> </ul> <br /> <strong>Meeting Growers’ Needs</strong><br /> <br /> Mycogen Seeds uses an elite global breeding program and advanced industry-leading technology to develop all of its hybrids, including these six new hybrids. In addition, science-based field trials vigorously test all MYCOGEN® brand hybrids for performance before they are released to the marketplace. This means growers can achieve more oil per acre and have access to all markets from confections to high oils, Kalthoff says.<br /> <br /> “Every grower can find the solution for their needs with the MYCOGEN brand sunflower lineup, which is the largest in the industry,” he says. “From Omega-9 oils to NuSun to confections, we offer high-performance hybrids for multiple markets.”<br /> <br /> For more information about these new sunflower hybrids or other MYCOGEN brand products, contact your local Mycogen Seeds dealer or sales representative, or visit <a href="http://www.mycogen.com/" target="_blank">www.mycogen.com</a>.<br /> <br /> Mycogen Seeds is a retail seed company of Dow AgroSciences LLC and a developer and marketer of leading corn hybrids, the market leader in SILAGE-SPECIFIC™ corn hybrids and sunflower hybrids, as well as an industry leader in canola, alfalfa, soybeans and sorghum.
