YieldGard VT provides outstanding control of Corn rootworm

YieldGard VecTran™ (VT) technology utilizes a cleaner, more natural agrobacterium-mediated insertion process. Two or more genes containing the desired traits are delivered through a single insertion process into the plant chromosome, on which optimal performance of the stacked traits is achieved.

The result is a stacked-trait hybrid with a highly active and more consistent promoter of the rootworm protection gene, which is more effectively distributed throughout the root system. Monsanto field trials are proving that hybrids with YieldGard VT™ technology are performing under actual field conditions.

In 2005, Monsanto dug 30,000 roots comparing YieldGard VT roots against the industry-standard YieldGard brands. The results proved that YieldGard VT™ hybrids consistently scored better in root ratings than first-generation YieldGard hybrids.
