don’t make soybean genetics choose sides
Some soybeans are known for their impressive yield potential. Others stand out for their ability to handle disease pressure, challenging soils or stressful growing conditions.
What if you could bring those strengths together?
That’s the thinking behind four new soybean blends from Latham Hi-Tech Seeds for the 2027 growing season.
By pairing high-performing offensive genetics with complementary defensive traits, Latham is giving farmers another way to balance yield potential and protection across their acres.
The Best of Both Worlds
Selecting soybean varieties often means weighing different strengths.
One product might consistently deliver impressive yields in performance trials, while another offers strong Iron Deficiency Chlorosis (IDC) tolerance, disease resistance or standability.
Latham’s new blends bring together carefully selected varieties with complementary characteristics.
The goal isn’t to replace sound product placement. It’s to give farmers another option for matching genetics to their fields.
Four New Blends, Four Different Strengths
Combining L 1219 E3 and L 1358 E3, this early-maturity blend brings together strong yield potential and defensive characteristics. Excellent standability and stress tolerance make it an option worth considering across a range of growing environments.
This combination pairs L 1558 E3, known for high yield potential and drought tolerance, with L 1626 E3 and its Ironclad defensive characteristics.
The result is a blend offering strong IDC tolerance, consistent performance and impressive yield potential. For fields with extremely severe IDC or very high soil pH, the individual L 1626 E3 variety may still be the better fit.
Two elite K Class varieties come together in this blend. L 1912 E3 brings strong disease defense, while L 2125 E3 contributes outstanding yield potential and white mold tolerance.
Together, they offer strong agronomic protection, excellent standability and the potential for impressive yields.
This blend brings together L 2541 E3 and L 2782 E3, combining Peking and PI88788 sources of Soybean Cyst Nematode resistance with strong yield potential.
It’s a unique approach to balancing offensive genetics with defensive root health.
Good Genetics Still Need Good Placement
A soybean blend isn’t automatically the right fit for every field.
Soil conditions, disease history, SCN pressure and maturity requirements still matter. Understanding the strengths of each combination is key to choosing the right product for your acres.
That’s where your local Latham Dealer can help.
By evaluating your field history and production goals, your Dealer can help determine whether one of these new blends — or an individual Latham soybean variety — makes the most sense for your operation.
