SY Valda

Hard Red Spring
The Yield Warrior

    Top-end yield potential from slightly later maturity and strong disease tolerance that keeps leaves green longer—extending kernel fill time—makes SY Valda an excellent complement when planting SY Ingmar and SY Soren. SY Valda tillers well, handles most soil types and maintains moderate protein levels.

    These agronomic assessments are made by Syngenta scientists and reflect each variety's relative performance within these characteristics prior to and during the 2024 crop year. Specific conditions may cause variations within those characteristics. These relative protection values are based on current pest and disease populations. These have been known to shift periodically and may cause changes in specific evaluations. Resistance to many other diseases and pests is sensitive to environmental conditions, plant development stages and the presence and intensity of other diseases which may result in specific evaluation inconsistencies. This chart is updated annually to reflect the most current trends.

    One or all of the varieties may be protected under one or more of the following: Plant Variety Protection, United States Plant Patents and/or Utility Patents and may not be propagated or reproduced without authorization.
