YieldGard Corn Borer delivers whole-season, in-plant
protection against European and southwestern corn borer, for a zone of
protection throughout
the stalk-from the time you plant until the time you harvest.
- YieldGard Corn Borer produces healthier stalks from reduced
stalk damage and lodging caused by corn borers.
- With YieldGard Corn
Borer, more moisture and nutrients are available and utilized by
the plant to produce healthier stalks.
- Healthier stalks allow YieldGard
Corn Borer to maximize yield potential and yield protection while
reducing lodging and ear drop.
- YieldGard Corn Borer is more convenient
for growers to use since it reduces the amount of insecticide handled
and the time spent scouting
for insect damage.
To preserve the benefits and insect protection of the YieldGard® family of corn technologies, and Insect Resistance management (IRM) plan must be part of short-term and long-term production strategies.
- Planting a corn refuge maintains a population of
corn borers that are not exposed to the Bt protein.
- Plant at least
20 percent of your acres on each farm as are fuge. Corn planted in
the refuge should not contain Bt technology to control
corn borers.
- Plant the refuge within half a mile (one-quarter mile preferred)
of the YieldGard Corn Borer corn.
- Refuge can be a block or in-field
strip (four consecutive rows minimum, six rows preferred, in each
strip).
- Planting a refuge is an EPA requirement for YieldGard Corn
Borer corn.
Please refer to the YieldGard IRM Guide for complete IRM requirements
