Is Trecepta® Technology Right For You?

July 30, 2022

Farmers battling corn-feeding insects have relied on Trecepta® technology to protect their plants. With any technology though, you may have questions. Find the answers here and see if Trecepta technology is right for you.


HOW DOES TRECEPTA® TECHNOLOGY BUILD ON VT DOUBLE PRO® TECHNOLOGY?

Trecepta® technology contains the two proven modes of action found in VT Double PRO technology and adds a third mode of action (the Vip3A protein) to give you even more complete control against fall armyworm, southwestern corn borer, western bean cutworm, black cutworm and corn earworm.


WHY SHOULD A FARMER CONSIDER PLANTING CORN WITH TRECEPTA TECHNOLOGY?

There’s no question that above-ground insects can be a challenge to manage. Farmers dealing with these damaging pests can now combat a more complete above-ground insect spectrum thanks to the additional mode of action found in Trecepta technology. In addition, Trecepta technology contains Roundup Ready® 2 Technology, which allows the plant to withstand glyphosate treatments used to control weeds.


WHAT REGIONS SHOULD CONSIDER TRECEPTA TECHNOLOGY AND WHY?

Anyone who farms in a region with above-ground insect pressure can potentially benefit from Trecepta technology. Because Trecepta technology contains the Vip3A protein that helps control western bean cutworm, it is particularly useful for farmers in the regions where that pest has been an issue.

WHY IS GOOD GRAIN QUALITY IMPORTANT?

A good crop doesn’t always come down to just yield. The better grain quality you have, the better marketability you’re going to have with your corn. Factors like test weight and kernel damage can be difference-makers at the end of a season. With its ability to promote clean ears and healthy stalks, Trecepta technology can help support your overall grain quality.
