YieldGard VT® hybrids are created using a process called VecTran technology, which stands for Vector-Stack Transformation. By combining two traits using a single DNA-insertion process, it is a better way to produce stacked traits:
- More efficient
- More consistent
- Less time-consuming
- Enhanced trait performance
And by improving breeding efficiency processes, elite germplasm with better, higher yielding traits can be available on your farm operation six to 12 months faster.
YieldGard VT contains a better promoter.
A huge benefit of YieldGard VT® is that it contains a highly-active and more-consistent promoter of the rootworm gene. The promoter is a biotech switch that turns on the gene to produce the insect-control protein and more effectively distribute it throughout the root system. This improved protein expression gives you:
- A more consistent level of insecticidal protein
- A better barrier to control corn rootworm larvae
Over 30,000 root digs prove better rootworm control vs. industry-standard YieldGard Plus.
Over 30,000 root digs were conducted comparing YieldGard VT® roots against the industry-standard YieldGard products. After all the results were tabulated, YieldGard VT® hybrids consistently scored better in root protection than first-generation YieldGard hybrids. YieldGard VT® roots reach full root mass, so they go deeper to get even more moisture and nutrients from the subsoil.
