MX Series Corn by Stine^®: Confidence you can carry to harvest

Features and benefits

Hybrids that achieve MX Series Corn status share unique features that set them apart.  

• Unique plant architecture. MX Series Corn plants typically have more upright leaves, which allow for better utilization of sunlight and more efficient pollination.
• Versatile genetics. Derived from the latest, most superior corn genetics from one of the industry’s largest corn breeding programs, these hybrids work well across different environments and soil types.
• Strong roots and stalks. A common feature of our MX Series Corn lines, excellent roots and stalks translate to better standability and fewer lodging issues come harvest.
• Optimal ear placement. Ears are ideally situated on the plants — high enough above ground for easy harvest but low enough to avoid compromising stalk strength or risk being dislodged during high winds.
• Maximum returns in high-yield environments. As demonstrated through our Elite Yield Trials, these lines excel in high-population, high-yield environments.

For the 2027 planting season, we have our largest MX Series Corn portfolio to date, including a mix of traited and conventional options, ranging from an 84–86-day to a 113–115-day maturity.

“There are a few returning champions on our 2027 roster that we’re excited to see back in growers’ fields,” says Hartman. “We're always working to bring growers brand-new, high-yielding genetics, but we won't turn our back on proven genetic combinations that consistently deliver.”

The starting lineup

A few returning favorites for the 2027 season include:

• MX261-0: This conventional line is a dependable, high-yielding option with high test weight, designed to perform best as a full-season product at higher planting populations. It responds well to in-season management and includes an industry-leading fungicide and insecticide treatment. MX261-0 is an excellent choice for high-management acres using a conventional herbicide system, and it excelled in our Elite Yield Trials, yielding 108.3% of trial average.
• MX481-G: Stine MX481-G brand corn has shown outstanding yield performance in our Elite Yield Trials, consistently performing near 110% in four years of testing, with a 9% average advantage over competitive products. It is an excellent option for increased planting populations and is widely adaptable for all row widths. MX481-G features very good root and stalk strength, stress tolerance, and medium-tall plant height and semi-fixed ear placement that help optimize yield in higher planting populations. Featuring the Stine GT™ trait, MX481-G has built-in tolerance to glyphosate-based herbicides, providing growers the freedom to choose their preferred brand of glyphosate.
• MX551-G: Stine MX551-G brand corn is a high-yielding, full-season line developed to thrive at increased planting populations. It features a medium-tall plant type with medium-tall ear placement and very good roots and stalks, making it an excellent choice for all row widths and stressful environments. It also excels in high-management acres with an application of sulfur and offers an industry-leading fungicide and insecticide treatment. With the Stine GT trait, MX551-G has tolerance to glyphosate-based herbicides, and in our Early-Mid Elite Trials, it yielded a two-year average of 108%.
