Choosing Corn Hybrids: Know Your Markets
Choosing Corn Hybrids: Know Your Markets
In the January
newsletter of the Ontario Corn Producer, OCPA reminded growers of the importance
of understanding the marketing implications of all the hybrids they choose to
grow. This issue is increasingly critical as more new hybrids that have not
received approval in the European Union are introduced into the Ontario marketplace.
The Canadian Seed Trade Association maintains a list of hybrid corn varieties
which contain events that have NOT been approved in the EU – the list below,
taken from CSTA’s website (http://cdnseed.org/),
is current as of December 9, 2002.
CSTA cautions that although the list represents the group’s best efforts
to collect available hybrid data, the organization accepts no responsibilities
for any errors or omissions. Seed company representatives will also provide
information on which of their hybrids carry traits that are not approved in
the EU.
