Over the past three years, the 2020 corn advancement class achieved an 8.8 bu/A average yield advantage over competitors in on-farm and IMPACT^™ trials. This was the direct result of a decade of innovation, what we call the Corn Revolution.

Expertise and new breeding technologies led to an expanded research pipeline by nearly 20x, increased late-stage testing by 8x, and analysis of 85 billion data points each year.

Building on established deep local roots, local breeders, local agronomists and local test sites were used to develop local products for farmers.

Pioneer had 219 NCGA winners in 2020, more than any other seed brand. Pioneer has been leading hybrid corn development since 1920. And is just getting started.

Qrome^® products strike the right balance between defense and offense, which led to a 7.7 bu/A yield advantage over SmartStax^® technology in 2020 on-farm trials.

Qrome technology works across more Pioneer germplasm than ever before in our triple-stack lineup, which means there are more hybrid options than ever before.

Qrome products are proven to have excellent root strength with a 17% improvement in root strength score since 2017 in our triple-stacks across the Corn Belt.

To defeat corn rootworm, we have tested for multiple years at multiple locations, and demonstrated similar insect control to our Optimum^® AcreMax^® Xtreme insect protection.

Optimum^® AQUAmax^® corn hybrids deliver — rain or shine. In 2020, Optimum AQUAmax hybrids out-performed the competition in a variety of local environments with a 6.3 bu/A advantage in yield levels below the 150 bu/A threshold.*

Not all products become Optimum AQUAmax hybrids. In fact, most don't. Before getting the elite designation, contenders must exceed expectations during three years of comprehensive drought testing.

Optimum AQUAmax hybrids improve drought tolerance through aggressive silking, stomata control and an efficient root system.
