EASTERN CORN BELT REGION

Born from innovation, driven by science

1 MyYield – 2017 Syngenta internal trials in areas of product launch, Dec 1, 2017.

NK® has been committed to cutting-edge technology since its founding days in the 1800s. Of all current companies selling hybrid corn, NK and its legacy companies were the first to:

• Sell seed corn • Develop a proprietary soybean • Introduce Bt corn

With significant ongoing investments in research and development, as well as exponential growth in our field support teams, NK is committed to helping you maximize profit potential. Through our award-winning data analytics program, NK seed breeders and scientists pinpoint high-performing genetics. And with advancements like high-speed trait conversion, new NK hybrids and varieties are coming to market an average of two years faster than before. That means more choice for you.

For the 2019 growing season, these 32 new NK launch hybrids have shown a 4.4 bushel/acre advantage over DeKalb and a 5.4 bushel/acre advantage over Pioneer.1

NK hybrids offer an elite combination of best-in-class genetics and leading traits like Agrisure Duracade® 5222 E-Z Refuge®, the ultimate trait stack for premium insect control, choice and simplicity in corn.

NK soybeans have a reputation as yield leaders and the lineup will add 18 new NK Soybean varieties, including 13 with the Roundup Ready 2 Xtend® trait for a range of advanced herbicide control options. Along with agronomics suited for local needs, our new varieties offer top Sudden Death Syndrome (SDS) ratings, averaging higher ratings for SDS tolerance than our major competitors in geographies where SDS is a threatening pest.

In today’s competitive market, advanced seed technology can give you the edge you need. Developed from a proprietary pool of genetics, NK products help you spread risk and maximize potential returns. Work with your NK retailer to identify the best combination of seed genetics and traits that will help deliver top yield potential in your fields.

(Characteristics chart continues on page 6.)

Flex hybrids adjust to growing conditions by changing ear length or kernel depth. Determinate/Fixed hybrids are less able to adjust ear size. Plant Population is considered more important for a determinate-ear hybrid than for a flex-ear hybrid.

Ratings are based on interpretation of data gathered by Syngenta and/or observations across areas of adaptation and may change as additional data is gathered.

Seed products with the LibertyLink® (LL) trait are resistant to the herbicide glufosinate ammonium, an alternative to glyphosate in corn, and combine high-yielding genetics with the powerful, non-selective, postemergent weed control of Liberty® herbicide.

NOTE: Hybrid characteristics such as staygreen and drought stress tolerance are also important to consider when selecting hybrids for silage. Digestibility ratings are based on NIR and in-vitro digestibility analysis. Milk performance estimates generated from University of Wisconsin equations. Comparisons should only be made among hybrids within a maturity group. Although actual silage yield and quality analysis of a hybrid will vary with environment, the relative ranking of a hybrid will be similar. These ratings are a relative performance guide. Conduct a laboratory test to determine actual silage quality when balancing a feed ration.

Using This ChartYield: Calculated on a per-acre basis and adjusted to standard moisture.

Crude Protein (CP): Indicates the percent content of feed component relative to other hybrids.

NDF: Measure of the indigestible and slowly digestible components of the silage.

Neutral Detergent Fiber Digestibility 48 Hour (NDFD 48 hr): Estimates the ruminant digestibility of the NDF fraction.

Starch: Indicates the percent content of feed component.

Total Digestible Nutrients (TDN): Sum of the digestibility of different nutrients.

Net Energy Lactation (NEL): Feed effect on net energy for lactating cows based on acid detergent fiber (ADF).

Milk/Ton: An estimate of forage quality driven by starch content, starch digestibility and NDF; Milk/A combines the estimate of forage quality (Milk/Ton) and yield (Tons/A) into a single term.**

Beef/Ton: A proprietary estimate of forage quality driven by TDN; Beef/A combines the estimate of forage quality (Beef/Ton) and yield (Tons/A) into a single term.

Drought: Agrisure Artesian water-optimized hybrid.KEY



*NOTE: These ratings should not be used to estimate actual production per animal, but instead they should be used to determine relative overall silage quality and yield of each hybrid. **Milk/A: Combining yield and quality into a single term, https://fyi.uwex.edu/forage/files/2016/11/Milk-2016-Combining-Yield-and-Quality-into-a-Single-Term-2.pdf

Enogen FeedUNLOCK THE ENERGY POTENTIAL OF YOUR FEEDLOT OR DAIRY RATIONWhen fed as grain or silage, Enogen Feed corn hybrids offer a step-change in starch and sugar availability that can help unlock the energy potential of your feedlot or dairy ration.

Enogen Feed corn has been shown to provide an increase in feed efficiency by an average of 5 percent in beef cattle production.2 When Enogen Feed corn silage is incorporated into a dairy ration, predictive modeling software has indicated a potential 3–5 percent gain in potential income over feed cost.3

Incorporating Enogen Feed corn hybrids into your beef or dairy operation is as easy as replacing some of the corn or silage you currently grow and feed on-farm. Growers must comply with specific yet simple stewardship requirements.

EnogenINCREASE PROFIT POTENTIAL BY GROWING HYBRIDS DEVELOPED TO ENHANCE ETHANOL PRODUCTION Enogen corn hybrids can help you be an enzyme supplier for your local participating ethanol plant. The alpha-amylase enzyme found in Enogen grain can help an ethanol plant significantly reduce the viscosity of its corn mash and eliminate the need to add a liquid form of the enzyme for increased efficiency.

To grow Enogen corn, you are required to follow specific yet simple stewardship requirements. Enogen corn hybrids also show no yield drag.1

Enogen growers are eligible to receive a premium for grain delivered to a participating ethanol plant.

Enogen technology for ethanol production and cattle rations NK is pleased to offer the unique technology of Enogen® corn and Enogen Feed corn hybrids. They feature an in-seed innovation that can enhance ethanol production or help you unlock the energy potential of your feedlot or dairy operation.

KEY

Note: Disease and Insect RatingsRatings are not absolute; environmental conditions and certain cultural practices, such as continuous corn, play a critical role in disease development and insect infestation, which can, in turn, predispose plants to secondary disease such as stalk and ear rots. If conditions are severe, even hybrids rated as resistant can be adversely affected. Growers should balance yield potential, hybrid maturity and cultural practices against the anticipated risk of disease or insect pressure.

Ratings are based on interpretation of statistically analyzed results of studies conducted by Syngenta.

* Herbicide Tolerance for Agrisure Traits in Enogen Hybrids Examples of Enogen hybrid-specific trait herbicide tolerance: - 3000GT-EVT3/3011A-EVT3: Can only be sprayed with glyphosate; cannot be sprayed with glufosinate.- 3000GT-EVT5.1: Can be sprayed with glyphosate and glufosinate.- All Enogen (E5122): Can only be sprayed with glyphosate; cannot be sprayed with glufosinate.

Important: Always read and follow label and bag tag instructions; only those labeled as tolerant to glufosinate may be sprayed with glufosinate ammonium-based herbicides.

Seed products with the LibertyLink (LL) trait are resistant to the herbicide glufosinate ammonium, an alternative to glyphosate in corn, and combine high-yielding genetics with the powerful, non-selective, postemergent weed control of Liberty herbicide.

STEWARDSHIP

Protect and preserveA strong stewardship program is essential for protecting and preserving the long-term value of insect-protected trait technology. Syngenta provides responsible agriculture programs and information regarding the safe handling and storage of product.

STEWARDSHIP REQUIREMENTSRead and understand the stewardship requirements found in the Syngenta Stewardship Guide, including applicable refuge requirements when planting insect-protected traits as set forth in the Syngenta Seeds, LLC Stewardship Agreement that you sign. To sign an agreement or view recommended planting configurations, please visit SyngentaStewardship.com or contact the Syngenta stewardship team: 1-877-476-2676. By opening and using a bag of seed, you are reaffirming your obligation to comply with those stewardship requirements.

BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICESThe agricultural industry has learned that, in addition to planting a refuge, a sound Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategy is needed to prevent Corn Rootworm (CRW) resistance. For more information on how you can implement Best Management Practices (BMPs) on your farm, including crop and trait rotation, refer to the industry CRW BMPs found on the NCGA website at NCGA.com/CornRootworm or SyngentaStewardship.com

GRAIN MARKETINGGrowers are encouraged to consult the Bio Trade Status website for the approval status of commercially available hybrids: BioTradeStatus.com. Talk to your grain handler prior to delivering crop so that it can be handled and marketed appropriately. Please contact your local seed representative with any questions.

Agrisure Duracade growers needing grain marketing assistance may contact Gavilon Grain, LLC at 844-559-1500 to identify an accepting location near you or visit syngenta-us.com/agrisure/duracade-stewardship.aspx for more information.

CORN REFUGE REQUIREMENTSIt is important to recognize that different hybrid/trait packages may have different Insect Resistance Management (IRM) requirements. On-farm mixing of any seed is not an approved method to comply with stewardship requirements.

Refuge size is calculated by applying the appropriate percentage (e.g., 20%, 50%) to the TOTAL CORN ACRES.

Calculator available to help farmers plan how to meet the minimum refuge requirements for each Bt corn product on their farm. Download at www.irmcalculator.com

* These products may be offered as Agrisure Artesian® corn hybrids, which convert water to grain more efficiently. Artesian™ corn hybrids are designated by an ‘A’ at the end of the trait stack name.

The Agrisure® 3010 trait stack was previously sold as Agrisure® GT/CB/LL.

Important: Always read and follow label and bag tag instructions; only those labeled as tolerant to glufosinate may be sprayed with glufosinate ammonium-based herbicides.
