DuPont Pioneer expands Plenish high oleic soybean lineup for 2014

DuPont Pioneer has expanded its high oleic soybean line by introducing four new Pioneer® brand soybeans with the Plenish® high oleic trait for the 2014 planting season.

The new Plenish high oleic products for 2014 are part of maturity Group III for planting in the lower central Corn Belt. In 2013 Indiana and Ohio research trials, all four new products offered yield and agronomic performance equal to other elite Pioneer® brand soybean products.

The new soybean varieties have solid genetics and defensive trait packages to help ward off key yield-robbing diseases and pests such as Soybean Cyst Nematode (SCN), Sudden Death Syndrome (SDS) and Phytophthora Root Rot (PRR).

•    Pioneer® variety P31T96PR SCN, PRR 1C gene, SDS tolerance
•    P33T34PR -- SCN, SDS tolerance, PRR field tolerance
•    P34T90PR -- SCN, PRR 1K gene, PRR field tolerance, SDS tolerance
•    P35T66PR -- SCN, PRR 1K gene, SDS tolerance

“Plenish high oleic soybeans offer growers the yield, pest resistance and strong agronomic package they expect,” says Steve Schnebly, DuPont Pioneer senior research manager for soybeans. “Growers can also count on receiving both high yields and a processor-paid premium for managing these identity-preserved products.”
