Roundup Ready® Corn 2 contains in-plant tolerance to Roundup® brand herbicides, enabling growers to spray Roundup® brands over the top, from planting through the V8 stage or 30-inch corn height, with excellent crop safety and no yield reduction. Compared to popular conventional corn programs, the Roundup Ready® Corn 2 system costs less, while allowing hybrids to reach their maximum yield potential.
DroughtGard® Hybrids with VT Double PRO® RIB Complete® Corn Blend contains the first double-stacked trait with dual modes of action for above ground insects and maximum protection against corn earworm. Superior genetics along with innovative drought-tolerant trait technology helps DroughtGard® Hybrids withstand drought conditions for a better chance of maximizing kernels per ear and overall yield potential.
Trecepta® technology contains Cry1A.105, Cry2Ab2 and Vip3Aa20 from B.t. that together controls European corn borer, southwestern corn borer, southern cornstalk borer, corn earworm, fall armyworm, stalk borer, sugarcane borer, beet armyworm, true armyworm, black cutworm, western bean cutworm, lesser cornstalk borer and dingy cutworm. Products containing this technology also contain Roundup Ready® 2 Technology that provides tolerance to in-crop applications of labeled glyphosate herbicides when applied according to label directions.
SmartStax® RIB Complete® Corn Blend is a mix of 95% Bt. traited, 5% refuge seed. You get all the benefits of SmartStax® technology, plus the convenience of 5% refuge seed interspersed in every bag. It has proven to have a 10 bu/A advantage over non-Bt. traited corn and a 20 bu/A advantage over non-Bt. treated corn + a soil-applied insecticide.
SmartStax® PRO with RNAi Technology technology represents the next generation of corn rootworm (CRW) protection, combining established Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) traits with a novel RNA interference (RNAi) mode of action. It is designed to provide the strongest biotech defense against corn rootworm, offering more than double the root node protection compared to competitor products in high-pressure environments.
VT Double PRO® RIB Complete® Corn Blend is a mix of 95% traited and 5% refuge seed. With refuge-in-a-bag, there’s no need to calculate or plant separate, structured refuge in the Corn-Growing Area. It contains dual modes of action for maximum protection against corn earworm and other above-ground pests, like European and Southwestern corn borers, and fall armyworm.
The Agrisure® Above trait stack offers the convenience of an integrated E-Z Refuge® seed blend plus multiple modes of action against corn borer, as well as suppression of earfeeding insects.
The Duracade® trait stack offers season-long control of corn rootworm and corn borer, as well as suppression of earfeeding insects, and includes a unique mode of action that demonstrates strong performance against corn rootworm, with an integrated E-Z Refuge® seed blend.
The DuracadeViptera™ trait stack is the industry’s most comprehensive solution for proactively protecting yield potential and field health, featuring multiple modes of action to control 16 key insects—more than any competitive trait stack—including a unique mode of action that demonstrates strong performance against corn rootworm, and the convenience of an integrated E-Z Refuge® seed blend.
The Viptera® trait stack offers the most comprehensive above-ground insect control with multiple modes of action against key above-ground insects and the convenience of an integrated E-Z Refuge® seed blend. It is ideal for areas where corn rootworm management is not a primary concern.
