Date:08-08-2024

LG Seeds’ 2025 product lineup of corn hybrids and soybean varieties equips farmers with the game-changing trait and genetic choices they need to optimize the productivity of ALL the acres on their farm — from their most productive to their most challenging. The brand’s revolutionary approach focusing on seed placement and diverse hybrid selection gives farmers what they need to optimize productivity across their farm.

LG Seeds will bring 18 new corn hybrids with relative maturities (RM) stretching from 84 to 120 days to market in 2025. It will also debut new trait options on five proven hybrids. Also new in the lineup for 2025 is the addition of PowerCore^® Enlist^® traits. Benefits of that technology include greater flexibility on herbicide applications and pest protection against threats like black cutworm, fall armyworm and European corn borer.

The LG Seeds soybean lineup for 2025 levels up farmers’ ability to overcome agronomic hurdles and maximize yields. It includes 17 new soybean varieties, with maturities spanning from 0.8 to 5.3.

New corn hybrid options for all soil types and geographies

Farmers will have even more opportunity to diversify their crop strategies and mitigate risk with the introduction of new genetics in the 2025 corn hybrid lineup. A few of its standouts include the following. 

• LG38C48VT2RIB is an 88-day hybrid VT Double PRO^® product, which will add to the Roundup Ready^® option launched in 2023. It’s a standout product for this maturity group that brings excellent late season intactness. The corn hybrid produces a girthy ear with an excellent commercial look. This is an outstanding option for productive soils.

• LG43C50VT2RIB is a 93-day conventional and VT Double PRO^® RIB Complete^® option for 2024. This corn product brings consistently long ears that can flex. It has also proven it can adapt to many growing conditions. Strong Goss’s Wilt tolerance allows for broad geographic placement. Test weight, grain quality and overall plant health are just a few of its strengths.

• LG52C90VT2RIB is an exciting 102-day corn hybrid that provides strong emergence, top-end corn yields and reliability across multiple environments. This was the highest-yielding field corn seed in two years of pre-commercial testing.¹

• LG62C73VT2RIB provides the performance and the looks of an industry-leading 112-day product. Superior grain quality, impressive drought stress tolerance and consistent yields across many environments will make this a sought-after product in 2025.

• LG65C30VT2RIB is a high yielding hybrid with strong tar spot tolerance. Picture-perfect ears and grain quality make it memorable. The corn product is stable across many yield environments and has the agronomics to perform.

New soybean seed products to fortify farmers’ defenses

The 17 new LG Seeds’ soybean varieties coming to market in 2025 offer new genetics and multiple trait choices. A few standouts include the following:

• LGS1206E3 provides the top-end yields coupled with excellent iron deficiency chlorosis (IDC), brown stem rot and white mold tolerance, allowing these soybean seeds to be planted in many geographies. These soybeans have great adaptability to high- and low-performing soils.

• LGS2054XF combines agronomics with superior yield results. These high-performing soybean plants can handle stressful situations without sacrificing standability. It also packs sudden death syndrome (SDS), white mold and IDC tolerance.

• LGS3000E3 is a proven yielder with tolerance to sulfonylurea herbicides (STS) as well as SDS, IDC and frogeye leaf spot. This allows for adoption across most areas where this maturity is grown.

• LGS3445E3 offers Peking resistance to soybean cyst nematode (SCN), with a balanced agronomic package. Great STS, SDS, IDC and stress tolerance make this a good all-around soybean.

• LGS4833E3 has a unique package of agronomic traits that set it apart from other late Group IV maturities. It’s a salt excluder for saline soils with southern root-knot nematode (SRK) resistance and a strong tolerance to SDS, frogeye leaf spot and STS. This soybean variety thrives in fine- to medium-textured soils.

Get the most out of their acres

″LG Seeds doesn’t take a one-size-fits-all approach. We offer choices that fit each farm,″ says LG Seeds Product Brand Manager Justin Krell. ″For that reason, we’re always working to improve our existing offerings and bring new corn and soybean seed solutions to the market.″

Krell continues, ″I’ve had the privilege of seeing what the 2025 LG Seeds products can do. I cannot wait for farmers to witness the strong performance and agronomics in their own fields.″

¹ Product rating characteristics are assigned by LG Seeds based on comparisons with other LG Seeds products, not competitor products, through in-house field testing. Performance may vary from location to location and from year to year, as local growing, soil, and weather conditions may vary. Growers should evaluate data from multiple locations and years whenever possible and should consider the impacts of these conditions on their fields.
