Earn a premium while supporting U.S. energy independence, the environment and the economy.
Enogen® corn enzyme technology supports the future of renewable fuels, the strength of your local community and the profitability of your farming operation.
Enogen enables you to serve as an enzyme supplier for your local ethanol plant and provides the opportunity to earn a per-bushel premium for grain delivered to the ethanol plant. Growers access Enogen through a technology license with Syngenta and a production contract with an ethanol plant that has entered into a commercial agreement with Syngenta. Enogen is available in high-yielding hybrids and can be grown with existing agronomic practices.

“We had a nice growing season. My Enogen hybrid E111B8-3000GT brand yielded up to 238 bushels per acre and I have found that the Enogen stewardship requirements have not been an issue at all.”
“Probably the biggest technology right now is Enogen, because we’re located close to some of the participating plants. This is the type of technology we’ve been looking forward to for 15 to 20 years. ”
“The Enogen stewardship requirements are not bad at all. You have to plant a buffer edge around the fields, you have to clean out your planter and the combine when you’re done, but for the premium that’s involved and no price difference on the seed, it’s worth it as far as we’re concerned.”
“Enogen stewardship is very simple to follow. It is a very user friendly, farmer friendly program. The computer systems are fairly easy to run so really it’s just a small task to grow Enogen. ”
“I decided to plant Enogen corn to give myself a little diversity. I have stuck with the Enogen product for the past two years because it doesn’t have any yield drag and allows me the freedom to market some grain differently than what I normally do with my regular co-ops.”
“This is probably our third year growing corn for ethanol. We decided to plant Enogen for the ethanol factor. Rather than depending on overseas oil, we try and raise it right here. And the 40 cent premium we got on it helps a bunch when corn’s $3.50.”
“We were already planting Golden Harvest® hybrids, so the transition to Enogen was quite easy. With the premium per bushel offer, the decision to plant Enogen hybrids was a no brainer.”
Enogen corn is not commodity corn. It is a high-value specialty grain for use in dry grind corn ethanol production. Syngenta has voluntarily developed a comprehensive program to mitigate potential commercial concerns about Enogen corn affecting unintended processes.
Enogen corn growers are required to follow specific yet simple stewardship requirements that include the planting of border rows around an Enogen corn field, planter cleanout, combine cleanout and reserved bin space for all Enogen grain.
In 2015, Syngenta introduced the Enogen Value Tracker™, a purple tracer that offers growers an easy, visual way to ensure border rows are planted and grain is properly segregated from planting to delivery. The Enogen Value Tracker is designed to make a simple protocol even easier.
