THE CORN REVOLUTION

Pioneer® Brand Corn Products
Learn More

Pioneer® brand corn achieved its best performance in memory last year — a 6.1 bu/A yield advantage. 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 18x, increased 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 245 NCGA winners in 2019, more than any other seed brand. Pioneer has been leading hybrid corn development since 1920. And is just getting started.

The Perfect Balance

Pioneer® Brand Qrome® Products
Learn More

The Perfect Balance

Qrome® products strike the right balance between defense and offense, which led to an 8.2 bu/A yield advantage in corn-on-corn acres in 2019.

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.

When In Drought

Optimum® AQUAmax® corn hybrids deliver — rain or shine. Between 2018-19, they achieved an average yield advantage of 3.6 bu/A yield in on-farm comparisons.

Not all products become Optimum AQUAmax hybrids. In fact, most don't. Before getting the name, 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.
