Surveys indicate that U.S. corn growers treat 14.4 million acres annually with a soil insecticide to control corn rootworm at a cost of $1 billion each year. However, extensive trials have demonstrated a yield advantage of 15.6 bushels per acre for YieldGard® Rootworm and stacked trait YieldGard® Plus with corn borer protection over the leading insecticide. But increased yield is not the only advantage to using this technology. - Never use planter box or sprayed insecticides again
- Convenient and safe
- New products include:
- Two new YieldGard® Plus products
- 18 YieldGard® Plus/Roundup Ready products
- 16 YieldGard VT TripleTM products that give rootworm and corn borer protection, and resistance to Roundup® agriculture herbicide with no yield drag
