PERFORMANCE-PACKED SOYBEAN GENETICS

NuTech has the enviable position of combining the most comprehensive soybean genetic access in the industry with a unique proprietary breeding and research program. Exclusive genetics from the proprietary ProSoy Genetics brand development program makes the NuTech soybean lineup unique from any other soybean lineup in the industry. Access to the major soybean breeding programs in the industry and the G2® Genetics brand, gives NuTech the most powerfully diverse soybean lineup in the industry. These NuTech soybeans are selected from a pool of millions of potential soybean brands each year. The wide ranging genetic access and the extensive testing available in our proprietary testing program and GENIE plot system gives NuTech the ability to select and place the right soybeans for your fields. NuTech has an extensive soybean lineup that allows for Prescripton Placement of brands to your different fields. Other companies select soybeans that "average" well across their sales area, while NuTech is looking for soybeans that excel in your individual fields. No other company can match NuTech in selecting and delivering performance-packed soybeans for your operation.

The result of this aggressive research and release program is soybeans that have been tested not only in our large proprietary testing program, but in extensive county, multi-state university and third party trials. You can be assured that these soybeans have already been extensively tested so you can feel confident in planting NuTech soybeans in your field. NuTech soybeans are the best and highest yielding soybeans that money can buy! The NuTech performance proves that NuTech is indeed the "Midwest's Undisputed Yield Leader".

RESEARCH

NuTech’s proprietary research program not only evaluates soybeans for outstanding yield potential, but also evaluates soybeans for resistance or tolerance to Phytophthora Root Rot, Brown Stem Rot, Soybean Cyst Nematodes, Iron Deficiency Chlorosis, Sclerotina White Mold and Sudden Death Syndrome. Since the Soybean Cyst Nematode is by far the most yield damaging soybean pest in the country, creating well over a billion dollars of damage to the soybean crop each year, NuTech spends considerable time and effort in evaluating soybeans for cyst nematode resistance.

Breeding for resistance to Soybean Cyst Nematode involves three recessive genes for cyst resistance and is therefore a very difficult process. Because breeding for cyst resistance is difficult, soybeans are released by companies that do not have full cyst resistance. ProSoy Genetics has developed a world class cyst nematode laboratory and all NuTech cyst resistant soybeans are evaluated in the laboratory for a “cyst index” that measures the cyst resistance of the soybean. The cyst index is reported in this catalog for each NuTech cyst resistant soybean. There are many reasons why NuTech has developed the reputation as the "Soybean Cyst Nematode Specialist".

Research on traits as well as yield allows the NuTech soybean sales team to prescription place soybeans on customer's fields. Placing the "right soybean on the right field" can mean more bushels from every field. Prescription Placement is a large part of the NuTech Advantage. Prescription Placement along with proven performance certainly support the statement "The Midwest's Undisputed Yield Leader".

TECHNOLOGY

It is an exciting time for technology in soybeans. NuTech is adding many new LibertyLink® soybeans that are tolerant to Ignite® (Liberty) herbicide along with our extensive Roundup Ready® lineup to add flexibility to the increasingly tough battle with weeds in the Midwest. There will be additional herbicide resistance choices becoming available in the next couple of years as well as soybean oil enhancements and insect resistance technologies. The NuTech name is synonymous with “new technology” and you can be assured that NuTech will be at the forefront of technology advancements providing not only the best genetics available but the best technology in the seed as well as on the seed. NuTech will be updating our proprietary SMARTCOTE and SMARTCOTE Extra seed treatments with the best new seed treatment technologies as well. You can be assured that NuTech will be at the "cutting edge" of yield enhancing technology.
