"YieldGard Plus with Roundup Ready Corn 2 contains superior genetics for weed and pest control, and it lets me spend more time with my family and less time in the field spraying."
Mark Maiers, Stewart, Minnesota
A combination of breeding and biotechnology led to the first product in the industry
with three biotechnology traits:YieldGard Plus with Roundup Ready Corn 2, which
has corn-borer resistance, rootworm resistance, and Roundup tolerance. This offering
represents a growing trend toward the replacement of single biotechnology traits
with stacked traits that allow farmers to do more with the same seed. Developed
as the newest biotechnology product,YieldGard Plus with Roundup Ready Corn 2 is
in its first year of widespread commercial planting. Farmers such as Mark Maiers
from Stewart, Minnesota, use it to control insects above and below the ground while
still having the ability to use Roundup agricultural herbicides over the top of
the crop for weed control. Maiers felt confident planting 1,800 acres of YieldGard
Plus with Roundup Ready Corn 2 because of his favorable experience using Roundup
Ready technology in both corn and soybeans.
