Next Generation Insect Protection New for 2009
Genuity™ VT Triple PRO™

Higher Yields. Quality Grain.

• Broader spectrum insect control of Corn Earworm, Corn Borer and Fall Armyworm can lead to improved grain quality
• Reduced kernel damage from Corn Earworm
• Dual mode-of-action reduces refuge acres required in southern cotton-growing regions to 20%

The Yield Protection System
YieldGard VT Triple^®

YieldGard VT Triple^® uses VecTran^® technology to put all the most advanced insect- and weed-control traits stacked into one seed:

• Stalk protection
• Root protection for better root scores
• Weed control when used in the Roundup Ready^® 2 Technology System

YieldGard VT Triple hybrid system maximizes yield protection to maximize your corn's genetic potential.

When it comes to root protection, stalk protection and weed control, nothing stacks up to maximize your corn's full genetic potential like YieldGard VT Triple:

• More available moisture and nutrients
• More uptake and translocation of moisture and nutrients
• Less lodging
• Less ear drop
• Broad-spectrum weed control with the Roundup Ready 2 Technology System.

YieldGard VT Triple hybrids protect against: Western Corn Rootworms | Northern Corn Rootworms | Mexican Corn Rootworms | European Corn Borers | Southwestern Corn Borers| Black Cutworms | Sugarcane Borers | Fall Armyworms | Stalk Borers | Wireworms | White Grubs | Seed Corn Maggots | Early Flea Beetles | Corn Earworms

The Science Behind YieldGard VT Triple

YieldGard VT hybrids are created using a process called VecTran technology, which stands for Vector-Stack Transformation. By combining two traits using a single DNA-insertion process, it is a better way to produce stacked traits:

• More efficient
• More consistent
• Less time-consuming
• Enhanced trait performance

And by improving breeding efficiency processes, elite germplasm with better, higher yielding traits can be available on your farm operation six to 12 months faster.

YieldGard VT contains a better promoter.

A huge benefit of YieldGard VT is that it contains a highly-active and more-consistent promoter of the rootworm gene. The promoter is a biotech switch that turns on the gene to produce the insect-control protein and more effectively distribute it throughout the root system. This improved protein expression gives you:

• A more consistent level of insecticidal protein
• A better barrier to control corn rootworm larvae

Over 30,000 root digs prove better rootworm control vs. industry-standard YieldGard Plus.

Over 30,000 root digs were conducted comparing YieldGard VT roots against the industry-standard YieldGard products. After all the results were tabulated, YieldGard VT hybrids consistently scored better in root protection than first-generation YieldGard hybrids. YieldGard VT roots reach full root mass, so they go deeper to get even more moisture and nutrients from the subsoil.

Features & Benefits

It's the best of everything: maximum insect protection combined with proven crop safety and great weed control in the Roundup Ready^® Corn 2 System. Even better, growing YieldGard^® Plus Corn with Roundup Ready Corn 2 doesn't require different equipment or significantly different agronomic practices. It fits into how you already farm - with added profit potential and convenience. See for yourself why YieldGard Plus with Roundup Ready Corn 2 makes perfect profit sense. Plant it on your acres, and watch your potential grow.

YieldGard Plus protects against: Western Corn Rootworms | Northern Corn Rootworms | Mexican Corn Rootworms | European Corn Borers | Southwestern Corn Borers | Black Cutworms | Sugarcane Borers | Fall Armyworms | Stalk Borers | Wireworms | White Grubs | Seed Corn Maggots | Early Flea Beetles | Earworms

IMPORTANT: The following information is current as of [date of printing]: YieldGard Plus and YieldGard Rootworm with Roundup Ready Corn 2 are grandfathered for import and use in processed feed in the E.U. YieldGard Plus with Roundup Ready Corn 2, YieldGard VT Rootworm/RR2 and YieldGard VT Triple are neither approved nor grandfathered and there is zero tolerance for these traits in processed feed imported in the E.U. Growers of all products bearing the Market Choices mark must talk to their grain handler to confirm the handler's buying position for grain from these products. It is a violation of national and international law to move material containing biotech traits across boundaries into nations where import is not permitted. YieldGard corn products are not yet registered in all states. Check with your Monsanto representative for the registration status in your state.
