Technology

Reduces refuge requirements from 20 percent to 5 percent1 and combines both the Herculex® and YieldGard® traits for the broadest spectrum of above- and below-ground in-plant insect protection ever available. With multiple Bt proteins expressed throughout the entire plant, insect resistance is reduced, along with refuge requirements resulting in higher overall yield. And, SmartStax is available in the latest high-yielding genetics. For maximum herbicide flexibility, both Roundup Ready® and LibertyLink® technologies are included for broad-spectrum weed control options.

1In cotton-growing regions, refuge requirements are reduced from 50 percent to 20 percent.

Herculex<sup>®</sup> XTRA Herculex XTRA Insect Protection is the most complete and cost-effective trait option for non-Roundup Ready acres. It enables top-performing hybrids to reach their maximum yield potential by combining high-yielding genetics with season-long control of European corn borer, corn rootworm, western bean cutworm, black cutworm and fall armyworm. Herculex XTRA offers the ability to use a cost-effective weed control option, such as IGNITE® herbicide or a conventional herbicide program.
HXI Insect Protection  If corn rootworm protection isn’t needed, consider high-yielding Herculex I Insect Protection hybrids for non-Roundup Ready acres. Herculex I delivers a wide window of protection against tough pests, such as European corn borer, western bean cutworm and black cutworm. It also delivers tremendous value with reduced insecticide treatments and alternative weed control options for greater profit potential.
