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.  Learn more at www.YieldGardVT.com

On April 18, 2005, the European Union (EU) notified that the following Monsanto corn traits already in the marketplace will be accepted (grandfathered) in processed feed: YieldGard Plus, YieldGard Rootworm, YieldGard Rootworm with Roundup Ready Corn 2, and YieldGard Corn Borer with Roundup Ready Corn 2. This action by the EU on these biotech products may result in additional marketing options for growers who plant seeds containing these traits. Growers must talk to their grain handler to learn more and to determine whether this development affects their ability to market or their decision to plant these traits. YieldGard Plus with Roundup Ready Corn 2, YieldGard VT Rootworm/RR2 and YieldGard VT Triple were not in the market, and therefore not qualified to be notified by the EU for acceptance in processed feed. Growers planting YieldGard Plus with Roundup Ready Corn 2, YieldGard VT Rootworm/RR2 and YieldGard VT Triple must talk to their grain handler to confirm the handler's buying position for grain from this product. It is a violation of national and international law to move material containing biotech traits across boundaries into nations where import is not permitted.

Always read and follow pesticide label directions. Roundup Ready® crops contain genes that confer tolerance to glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup® agricultural herbicides. Roundup® agricultural herbicides will kill crops that are not glyphosate tolerant. YieldGard Plus Corn can be offered for sale in the states in which it is registered. Check with your Monsanto representative for state-specific status.
