​Innovation in Targeting Above and Below Ground Pests

Setting the Standard for Modern Protection

Designed with five modes of action, SmartStax RIB Complete Corn supports long-term durability with broad-spectrum protection. Unlike single-protein trait options, SmartStax introduced stacked protection that works across multiple above- and below-ground pests simultaneously, an innovation breakthrough that helped lay the foundation for SmartStax PRO with RNAi Technology.

Control Above- and Below-Ground Insects

Root Protection for Stronger Fields

SmartStax RIB Complete Corn reduces uncertainty during high-pressure growing seasons, protecting roots from feeding and defending plants from major above-ground pests. With healthier nutrient and water uptake throughout the season, SmartStax® results in stronger standability, improved plant health, and greater confidence when conditions become unpredictable.
