2015 DEKALB Next Class Product Lineup Innovates

The DEKALB brand’s 2015 Next Class lineup will include nearly 40 top products. These products combine leading biotechnology, diverse global germplasm and strong agronomics to offer farmers products with not only the best yield potential, but also better crop protection and improved plant health with greater resistance from diseases and environmental stressors. Through the breeding program, new products are created by tapping an expansive foundation of germpalsm that pulls genetics from more than 30 countries. Breeders are then able to work with the best genetic “ingredients” and diversity possible in an effort to provide top products and solutions to the farmer. With dedication to testing in varying geographies, products are also specifically tailored to each location to optimize performance.

“We are not only proud to be leaders in breeding innovation, but also proud to consistently deliver solutions to our customers, enabling them to increase efficiency on their farm, while producing top yield and profit potential,” said Matt Rowland, DEKALB Product Development Manager. “Our farmers can plant with confidence knowing the Next Class products are well-suited for their particular growing conditions.”
