Q: What does exclusive genetics mean?

Q: Why are genetics an important consideration?

A: The genetics found in DEKALB®, Asgrow® and Deltapine® products come from a germplasm where characteristics are continuously being improved. Genetic characteristics are also tested across a variety of conditions, so growers can be confident the seeds they plant offer stable benefits proven to work in their fields.
