Agrisure Artesian Corn Technology

See the Difference

Agrisure Artesian contains multiple genes for season-long drought protection. Agrisure Artesian traits combine with elite genetics, allowing plants to manage gaps in rainfall through the season and yield exceptionally well in good conditions, delivering nearly 12% higher yields* compared to other hybrids in severe and extreme drought.

*Source info: Data is based on 7,613 Syngenta on-farm strip trials across the Corn Belt. 2010-2014 Syngenta defines a yield environment of 50-99 bu/A as severe and fewer than 50 bu/A as extreme.

Benefits

The Artesian Difference

Artesian corn hybrids contain multiple genes for season-long drought protection, responding to water stress with multiple modes of action–at virtually any stage of growth.

Artesian hybrids represent the A-list of high-performing corn hybrids, delivering top-end yields regardless of the weather.

The Science of Artesian

Dry conditions at any growth stage can result in reduced yield. The good news is that Agrisure Artesian corn hybrids help the crop optimize the use of available water all season long, converting water to grain more effectively than other hybrids.

"Artesian corn hybrids stay green and still look healthy when you have some stressful days with a lot of heat and no rainfall, while other hybrids tend to roll up and look drought-stressed."

Michael Groff Golden Harvest Seed Advisor

"With Artesian corn hybrids, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain."

Joe Dierickx Grower
DeWitt, Iowa

"Planting Artesian corn hybrids is a game-changer. It protects the plant from moisture stress from the time the seed goes in the ground all the way through harvest. I don’t see this level of season-long protection in competitive products."

Kelly Bryan Golden Harvest Seed Advisor
Montezuma, Illinois
