Genuity SmartStax - Technology in Our Lives - NAPS-TV

A NEW CORN TECHNOLOGY IS DESIGNED TO GIVE FARMERS A STRONGER DEFENSE AGAINST INSECTS AND WEEDS AND TO HELP INCREASE YIELD POTENTIAL. CALLED GENUITY SMARTSTAX CORN, IT IS AN ALL-IN-ONE PROTECTION SYSTEM THAT PROVIDES BIOTECHNOLOGY TRAITS TO CONTROL ABOVE- AND BELOW GROUND INSECTS. THE TECHNOLOGY IS USED WITH ACCELERON SEED TREATMENT PRODUCTS, WHICH MAXIMIZE EARLY-SEASON PERFORMANCE AND HELP CONTROL SECONDARY PESTS.

THE GENUITY SMARTSTAX IN OUR PLOT HAS REALLY LOOKED GOOD ALL SEASON LONG,
HAS LESS KERNEL DAMAGE, CLEANER-LOOKING GRAIN, AND WE SHOULD HAVE A LOT MORE YIELD, THE WAY IT LOOKS TO ME.

ANOTHER MAJOR BENEFIT IS THAT THE NEW TECHNOLOGY ALSO ENABLES FARMERS IN THE CORN BELT TO PLANT MORE OF THEIR ACRES WITH INSECT-PROTECTED CORN.
