YieldGard® Plus

YieldGard Plus delivers effective and consistent in-plant protection against western, northern and Mexican corn rootworms and European and southwestern com borer, for a zone of protection that goes from the root to the tassel-from the time you plant.

  • YieldGard Plus contains broad spectrum, in-the-bag control of secondary pests includes wireworm, white grub, sugarcane borer, southern corn stalk borer, seed corn maggot and early flea beetle.
  • Effective and consistent control helps maximize root systems and healthier stalks.
  • YieldGard Plus maximizes the amount of moisture and nutrients that are absorbed and carried through the plant for greater yield potential and protection, less lodging and less ear drop.
  • YieldGard Plus provides convenience to the grower since it reduces the amount of insecticide needed to be handled and time scouting for insect damage.
  • YieldGard Plus returns up to $20 per acre more profit. (Two-year average yield advantage, Monsanto data.)

Insect Resistance Management Requirements and Options

  • Plant at least 20% of your acres on each farm as a corn refuge.
  • Plant the refuge within or adjacent to the YieldGard Rootworm or YieldGard Plus fields.
  • Refuge can be a block or in-field strip (six consecutive rows minimum, 12 rows preferred, in each strip).
  • Planting a refuge is an EPA requirement for YieldGard Rootworm and YieldGard Plus corn.
