Corteva to Launch New Brevant Soybean Varieties in 2024
Corteva has announced plans to launch 24 new Enlist E3 soybean varieties, featuring elite genetics from Corteva Agriscience, through its Brevant seed brand in 2024 in the US. The offerings include varieties with 0.1 to 4.7 relative maturity, including nine with Peking resistance to soybean cyst nematode (SCN). These soybeans are also reported to demonstrate improved agronomic performance for emergence, standability, Phytophthora field tolerance and charcoal rot, enhancements in combating iron deficiency chlorosis (IDC), white mould, sudden death syndrome (SDS) and frogeye leaf spot. Corteva has previously announced that its Pioneer seed brand would be launching Z-Series soybean in the US market in limited quantities in 2024 (see AgbioNews Nov 21, 2023).
