Canada's Pride Seeds launches new PRIDE FX Soy System

Canadian seed maker Pride Seeds has launched PRIDE FX Soy System for Canadian soy producers.

The PRIDE FX Soy System combines the best in Pride soy genetics with elite seed treatments and new third generation "HiStick N/T soy inoculant technology notes" according to Stephen Denys, the company's vice president for sales and marketing. Denvys says when taken together, the addition of premier genetics with industry leading treatment technologies provides the potential for much higher yields and with reduced production risk.

He notes that over the last few years, producers have commented that soy yields have stalled given an increasing number of management challenges in the field. PRIDE FX Soy System will address a great many of the needs of soy producers today, he assured.

Combining these genetics with CruiserMaxxBeans for disease control, soil borne insect and early season bean leaf beetle and aphid protection, or ApronMaxx for disease protection alone, provides the best start a soy crop can have, according to Fred Sinclair, manager for product development and agronomy. He added that trait when added to new HiStick N/T represents a third generation Biostacked inoculant that stimulates greater nodule biomass and faster canopy closure even on mature soy ground and you have a complete package for soy yield success.

Sinclair says HiStick N/T represents a major breakthrough in inoculant technology that offers benefits to all soy producers even in Southwestern Ontario. Increased biomass and faster canopy closure is a benefit that can be seen in all areas and can benefit producers right across Canada.
