THE STRONGEST BIOTECH DEFENCE
RNAi Technology takes a different approach than soil-applied insecticides and B.t. traits by starting at the seed to tackle the threat of pests. This innovative approach provides consistent disease control, higher yields, and enhanced crop health by helping increase your corn’s ability to defend itself against the billion-dollar bug.
HOW DOES RNAi TECHNOLOGY CONTROL CORN ROOTWORM?
Designed by Bayer to combat corn rootworm RNAi Technology delivers three modes of action by altering the gene composition of crops against pests. Once RNAi technology is ingested by pests, the creation of life-essential proteins necessary for the corn rootworm’s survival is disrupted, resulting in mortality.
