Mycogen Launches SmartStax Hybrids

Mycogen Seeds’ new elite Mycogen SmartStax hybrids include 12 grain corn hybrids and two Mycogen brand Silage-Specific corn hybrids.

Mycogen SmartStax hybrids have built-in protection throughout the season, from both above- and below-ground corn pests, including earworm, fall armyworm, Western bean cutworm, and rootworm. Its multiple modes of action attack pests at two locations in the midgut, making it much more difficult for insects to develop resistance to the technology, according to Mycogen.

The new Mycogen SmartStax hybrids will deliver the broadest spectrum of insect control in the latest genetics, according to the company. Growers will experience a yield advantage due to the reduced refuge requirements, since Mycogen SmartStax hybrids require a 5 percent refuge instead of the traditional 20 percent requirement for first-generation Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) traits.
