VT4PRO^™ With RNAi Technology

With five built-in modes of action, VT4PRO^™ provides farmers with a defense stack that prevents root injury and secures root volume for optimal nutrient uptake. Combining three above-ground modes of action from Trecepta Technology and two-below ground modes from RNAi Technology, VT4PRO merges cutting-edge technology to keep corn crops secure throughout the season.

Understanding the VT4PRO^™ Defense Spectrum

See how each mode of action defends against specific pressure.

Below-Ground Protection With RNAi Technology

A summary of the modes of action and corn rootworm pressure level for the VT4PRO with RNAi Technology

RNAi Technology attacks essential protein production in corn rootworm. This mode of action protects roots from feeding injury, resulting in improved nutrient uptake and higher yield potential before the pest can cause significant damage.

Above-Ground Protection With Trecepta Technology

Above ground, Trecepta Technology provides broad-spectrum protection against major leaf-, stalk- and ear-feeding insects like corn borer, fall armyworm, black cutworm, western bean cutworm and corn earworm.

Multi-Mode Action

Rather than relying on a single insect-control mechanism, VT4PRO stacks multiple built-in technologies above and below ground. With this approach, farmers get broadened insect protection from long-term trait durability that supports their yield all season long.
