A high yielding, mid-maturing all rounder grain sorghum that's also highly adaptable

Relying on next generation Pioneer® A-series genetics, A66 offers traits that are recognised for their higher yield.
Widely adaptable across all farming systems and multiple environments, A66 is a tough hybrid providing growers with production stability, all-round agronomics and a strong disease profile.

Proven through exhaustive scientific trials
A66 is a hybrid sorhum that's evolved and proven from an initial three years of research-site testing, then advanced to our Seed Technology Research In Key Environments (STRIKE) trial program. There are about 40 STRIKE trial locations across the country each year.
STRIKE trials are replicated and randomised with diagonal check hybrids entered throughout the trial, ensuring the data is accurate and not affected by paddock variation or other variables.
