We’re excited about the Stine® corn lineup for 2019 — specifically, the corn hybrids that performed well in west central Illinois last year and are on the roster again this year. The Stine 9709 family is one of my personal favorites, and it looks like it’s going to be a strong option for growers in our region again this year. We also had success with the Stine 9808E family last year, so I anticipate those numbers will shine again this growing season.
Stine’s elite, high-yielding genetics are an integral component in these corn platforms. Conventional or traited, we’re seeing a new level of performance from these corn numbers in my region, which include:
Stine 9709-G — Featuring Stine genetics and the Agrisure® GT trait, this 112–114-day relative maturity corn option is glyphosate tolerant and supports strong roots and stalks that can handle variable soil types. Stine 9709-G also works well in any row configuration.
Stine 9709-0 — New to our lineup in 2019, Stine 9709-0 is one of our conventional corn options. This is a great alternative to our high-yielding 9714 brand genetic family. Stine 9709-0 is a 112–114-day relative maturity corn option that features strong roots and stalks that can handle variable soil types and any row configuration.
Stine 9808E-20 — Boasting the Agrisure Viptera® 3110 trait package, Stine 9808E-20 gives growers a dual mode-of-action for above-ground insect protection and tolerance to both glyphosate and glufosinate herbicides. The plants feature excellent roots and stalks that respond well to higher populations and all row widths. Stine 9808E-20 also performs well in loam to clay-loam type soils.
Stine 9808E-G — Featuring Stine genetics and the Agrisure® GT trait, Stine 9808E-G offers good disease protection and glyphosate tolerance. Like others in the 9808E family, 9808E-G has excellent roots and stalks, and it responds well to higher populations. Stine 9808E-G works especially well in loam to clay-loam type soils. This option also comes in 114–116-day relative maturity.
Stine 9808E-0 — Stine 9808E-0 is a 114–116-day relative maturity conventional hybrid. This product features excellent roots, stalks and disease protection. Stine 9808E-0 works well in all row widths and in loam to clay-loam soils.
