Farmers across the U.S. will be able to experience Genuity™ VT Triple PRO™ corn on their farms in 2010. But in 2009, more than 400 farmers in the southern U.S. have had the opportunity to plant the new product in demonstration plots on their farms – and they like what they see.
Genuity™ VT Triple PRO™ corn is the industry’s first product with dual modes of action against above-ground insects. This new trait technology gives farmers the broadest-spectrum insect protection against target pests, including one previously uncontrolled ear-feeding pest – corn earworm.
Many regions in the southern U.S. experience high earworm pressure, and in many of the 2009 plots, there’s minimal or no feeding on the Genuity™ VT Triple PRO™ corn ears, versus visible feeding and kernel damage on corn hybrids with first-generation insect protection.

Mississippi farmer Bill O’Neal compares a Genuity™ VT Triple PRO™ healthy corn ear (right) with a non-Bt hybrid damaged by corn earworm feeding. O’Neal planted a demonstration plot this season of Genuity™ VT Triple PRO™, which provides the industry’s first-ever dual modes of action to protect against above-ground insects.
