Research Triangle Park, N.C.-BASF Plant Science earlier this year announced the addition of two new American Seeds LLC brands to the current list of NutriDense trait licensees. The two seed brands, Stewart Seeds of Greensburg, Ind., and Kruger Seeds of Dike, Iowa, are offering NutriDense grain hybrids this year due to strong demand in their market areas, as well as significant improvements in the performance of NutriDense genetics. BASF said that these brands build upon the ongoing relationship between NutriDense and American Seeds LLC, which includes NutriDense for silage with Grow Direct – Fielder’s Choice Direct and Heartland Hybrids. “We are very excited to add Stewart Seeds and Kruger Seeds to our growing list of NutriDense licensees,” said Barney Bernstein, Director of Trait Marketing and Sales for BASF Plant Science. “They have strong brands in their respective market areas and the additional acres of NutriDense hybrids will open many new grain contracting opportunities for all of our farmer customers.” NutriDense is a nutritionally-enhanced corn that contains a stacked set of output traits designed to enhance animal feed performance. Seed companies market the product through licensing agreements.
