New HTF Ethanol Hybrids from Pioneer
September 14, 2007| |
Pioneer Hi-Bred has released 21new Pioneer(R) brand High Total Fermentable (HTF) ethanol hybrids for 2008 planting. These hybrids deliver higher levels of fermentable starch, resulting in higher ethanol output. In addition, many Pioneer HTF ethanol hybrids contain the Herculex(R) I or Herculex XTRA insect protection traits which reduce insect damage to grain and prevent molds and mycotoxins.
The Pioneer HTF hybrid screening program has shown that some hybrids are clearly superior in the amount of ethanol produced per bushel of grain. Identifying hybrids with the highest ethanol potential and developing new hybrids with desirable grain traits for dry-grind ethanol production is essential in the biofuels industry.
