Multi-Genetic Corn Planting Study

96% of farmers have told us that they have soil variability on their farm. Can you relate? Some growers are blessed with even, nutrient-rich fields, but for most of us, we are going to experience variability across our fields. This can greatly impact performance and overall yield outcomes.

Our answer to spatial variability? Multi-genetic planting, which is planting the most appropriate genetics to every acre to match its environment and maximize production potential.

We know there is an opportunity for potential yield increases if we plant the right hybrid for the specific conditions of each portion of land.

mSet

Typical planters do not allow an on-the-go hybrid change, which doesn’t let you match hybrid to the field environment. mSet is a multi-hybrid planting system that allows you to plant two hybrids using a divided hopper with one vSet meter. mSet also works with SpeedTube for high-speed multi-hybrid planting.

Multi-Genetic Study Results

Our data from the PTI Farm shows significant economic gain when we can assess each acre of land and plant either an offensive or a defensive hybrid to match the conditions of that specific acre. Over the eight-year time period of this study from 2018-2025, multi-genetic corn has offered increased yield gains up to +9.5 Bu/A with additional farm revenue of $41.40/A.

In each zone placement over the last eight years, only once did the placement end up being incorrect. This track record would suggest an 80% success rate for multi-genetic planting over 2018-2025 for each high/low yield zone.

When it comes to multi-genetic planting, we have seen that there is a high potential for increased yield when you have the right data, plan and equipment to help you achieve it.
