“We’re very excited that the reader’s of AgProfessional have recognized Genuity SmartStax as their new product of the year. Farmers are the ones who win with Genuity SmartStax.

Matt Kirkpatrick, Monsanto Genuity SmartStax marketing manager
Genuity SmartStax corn—the agriculture industry’s most advanced, all-in-one corn trait system—will be making its debut in farmers’ fields across the Corn Belt this spring. Monsanto and Dow AgroSciences jointly developed SmarStax™ technology, and both companies are marketing it through their own brands, as well as licensing to other seed companies.
Genuity SmartStax offers the broadest spectrum of control for both above and below-ground insects and herbicide tolerance. U.S. corn farmers who plant Genuity SmartStax this spring can reduce the structured refuge from the typical 20 percent to five percent in the Corn Belt and from 50 percent to 20 percent in portions of the South.
