YieldGard^® VT Triple

YieldGard VT Triple™ corn technology combines YieldGard Corn Borer and YieldGard VT Rootworm/RR2 technology into a single plant. YieldGard VT Triple corn hybrids control European and southwestern corn borer, sugarcane borer, southern corn borer, western corn rootworm, northern corn rootworm, and Mexican corn rootworm. YieldGard VT Triple hybrids will also provide intermediate protection against corn earworm, fall armyworm, and stalk borer. By providing in-plant protection against the above insect pests, the genetic yield otential of YIeldGard VT Triple corn hybrids is preserved.

YieldGard VT Triple corn hybrids also include Roundup Ready 2 Technology. This trait allows a grower to experience the benefits of utilizing Roundup agricultural herbicides in a weed control system that provides the broadest weed control spectrum available, along with better application flexibility, and superior crop safety.

YieldGard VT Triple containing seed is treated with seed applied insecticides.**

**A seed-applied insecticide can protect seed, roots and seedlings from insects such as black cutworm, wireworm, white grubs, seed corn maggots, chinch bug and early flea beetles.

Insect Resistance Management Requirements and Options

To preserve the benefits and insect protection of the YieldGard^® family corn technologies, an Insect Resistance Management (IRM) plan must be part of short-term and long-term production strategies.

• Plant up to 80% of your corn acres with YieldGard Rootworm or YieldGard Plus corn.
• 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.
  

Please refer to the YieldGard IRM Guide for complete IRM requirements.
