New CROPLAN Corn Products for 2026

Growers looking for the latest seed traits and technology will have more management options in 2026 with new CROPLAN® corn products. We have added eight new corn products with the latest traits, including SmartStax® PRO, VT Double PRO®, VT4PRO™, Trecepta® and PowerCore® Enlist® trait technology – giving growers more options for their unique acres. 

More Diversity For CROPLAN Corn

The eight new CROPLAN corn products for 2026 bring top-end yield potential, and the traits growers need most to help manage in-season pests. The products span 92-day to 119-day relative maturities, adding diversity to the seed lineup from north to south. 

Disease and Pest Management

After facing widespread disease pressure this year, choosing traits that can effectively combat diseases and pests is top of mind for many growers. The eight CROPLAN corn products added to the lineup cover a wide variety of the most challenging diseases and pests. 

The new SmartStax PRO product, CP3276 SSPRO, contains the three modes of action to control below-ground insects that this trait technology is known for. With a solid disease package, it fights effectively against corn rootworm and southern rust.  

There are three new VT4PRO™ products: CP3818 VT4P TRE, CP5050 VT4P and CP5468 VT4P. Each are highly versatile hybrids with strong agronomics for additional flexibility for growers. Combining the three modes of action in Trecepta technology, these products come equipped with two below-ground methods to help manage corn rootworm, as well as protection against above-ground pests including corn borers (European and southwestern), fall armyworm, western bean cutworm, black cutworm and corn earworm. CP5468 VT4P has excellent tolerance to Anthracnose stalk rot with additional tolerances against Physoderma Node Breakage and Goss’s wilt.  

Real Results in Field 

Although they’ve only been out one season, we’re already seeing great performance from these hybrids. Our experts are reporting new CROPLAN corn product CP5249 PCE as a standout performer this year. With excellent tolerance to gray leaf spot, southern rust and Goss’s wilt, plus above-average tar spot tolerance, this hybrid not just survived but thrived in disease-pressured environments. In 2025 Answer Plot® trials, CP5249 PCE shone, yielding 46.7 bu/A and 38.6 bu/A over plot averages in Princeton, IL, and Rochester, IN, trials, respectively.¹

Insights That Differentiate, In the Bag 

The latest class of CROPLAN hybrids have consistently high yield potential, but that’s not the only characteristic that sets this class apart. The goal is to find solutions that maximize the potential of every acre, no matter if the seed decision is part of an offensive or defensive strategy. Fortunately, the vast testing network of the Answer Plot program provides diverse conditions to test new products and understand how they’ll work in very different environmental conditions and geographies. Those performance insights, combined with access to some of the industry's most diverse genetics and traits, allow us greater flexibility to bring the ideal seed solutions to growers.
