11/29/2005 New Corn Hybrids Announced for 2006


Terral Seed is introducing one new Roundup Ready hybrid and two new Roundup Ready/YieldGard Corn Borer hybrids. The two new stacked hybrids are excellent complements to our market leaders 25BR23 and 26BR10n.
TV25R31 is a 113-115 day RM Roundup Ready hybrid representing the next generation of yield performance in Roundup Ready corn. It produces a protected semi-flex ear that responds well to irrigation. Wide, broad leaves help conserve moisture, reduce weed pressure and make 25R31 an excellent wider row choice. Medium high ear placement is well supported by very good stalk and root strength. 25R31 has very good ratings against northern and southern leaf blight, as well as against southern and common rust. Very good supplies for 2006.

TV26BR41 is a 114-116 day RM Roundup Ready/YieldGard Corn Borer hybrid targeted for high-yield production environments. Plant on cotton ground under irrigation with plenty of fertility for best results. It is a semi-flex ear type with a loose shuck that covers the ear and tip very well. Medium hard kernels produce very good test weight grain. It is an erect leaf type with strong roots and stalk. These characteristics, along with medium plant height, make it well suited to a narrower row. Supplies are very good for 2006.

TV26BR61 is a 114-116 day RM Roundup Ready/YieldGard Corn Borer hybrid. It is a tall, aggressive, robust plant that exhibits excellent stress tolerance. It has a semi-flex ear with excellent shuck coverage. Defensively, it shows excellent resistance to northern and southern leaf blight, as well as a high tolerance to southern and common rust. A superior choice in a cotton rotation. Limited 2006 availability.
