DuPont Pioneer recently announced that it will advance its new line-up of corn offerings to stewarded on-farm trials in 2016 as newly branded, Pioneer® brand Qrome™ products.
The foundation of the Qrome™ product line is event DP 4114 – a transgenic event that includes a molecular stack of proven Bt proteins from the Herculex® 1 and Herculex® RW traits, and is highly compatible with Pioneer® brand corn germplasm across a wide range of hybrid platforms.
In multi-year testing, Pioneer® brand hybrids containing Qrome™ product technology had insect efficacy on-par with hybrids containing the original Herculex® XTRA technology (Events TC1507 and DAS59122), but offered improved yield performance due to the technology’s compatibility with the corn germplasm.
Qrome™ product stacks have received cultivation approval in the United States and Canada and import approval in a number of key export markets. The on-farm trials will be managed under strict stewardship requirements.
“The new line-up of Pioneer® brand Qrome™ corn products help deliver improved yields and the strength of pyramided insect protection to a wider array of hybrid platforms,” said Steve Reno, DuPont Pioneer vice president and regional business director for the United States and Canada. “By advancing Qrome™ products from the research test phase to on-farm trials, we will be able to demonstrate to growers the value that these products will bring to every acre of their own fields.”
