Water-optimizing corn

Syngenta has unveiled Agrisure Artesian™ technology, the new line of water optimized hybrids. Wayne Fithian says this is not just drought tolerant corn but a hybrid that yields better in good growing conditions as well so growers do not have to trade-off.

This is actually the first of two technologies they are developing; the other is a water-optimized hybrid utilizing a genetically modified (GM) trait. These hybrids are anticipated to be available post-2015, pending receipt of all regulatory and key import market approvals.
