A new research center in eastern North Carolina called the Center for Dryland Research – Coastal Plains will be opened by the Pioneer Hi-bred, a DuPont business that will be dedicated to better address product development for southeastern environments. "The new Pioneer research center will further expand the company's commitment, providing better products that fit the specific needs of the region," says Greg Wichmann, Pioneer southern business unit director. The facility will involve product development and testing of both corn and soybeans with emphasis on conventional and transgenic developmental approaches in water-stressed environments.
