Gladiator™ Hybrids

Yield is often lost in continuous corn scenarios due to increased pressure from insects and disease, plus issues related to residue management and soil drainage. Farmers must manage continuous corn acres differently than corn following soybeans. Managing corn rootworm has become increasingly important as the number of corn-on-corn acres rises. University research data confirms the best results when dealing with high corn rootworm pressure is to use rootworm-traited genetics in addition to other strategies. GLADIATOR™ products combine the best genetics and traits (including two mandatory rootworm events) to help farmers maximize yields from corn-on-corn acres. Each product goes through rigorous testing and evaluation by Latham’s team of regional corn experts before earning its designation as a Latham® GLADIATOR™ hybrid. The following hybrids have passed that test:
