With Vorceed Enlist corn, Corteva Agriscience today unveiled its next generation of corn rootworm (CRW) trait technology, featuring three modes of action for above-ground insect protection, three modes of action for below-ground insect protection and tolerance to four herbicide modes of action to help better manage resistant weeds.
Insects have historically proven very adept at developing resistance to control measures. A new trait, this one harnessing RNA technology, aims to provide diversity in the modern farmer's pest control toolbox.
The third-generation corn rootworm trait is the first product in the industry with three modes of action for corn rootworm control, including a novel RNAi.
Corn rootworm represents one of the top groups of insects threatening corn yields across the U.S. Corn Belt, and Bayer wants farmers to take note and track the pest in 2020 with The Watch, a program meant to educate farmers and encourage them to evaluate their corn rootworm pressure and management practices.
