Bollgard® 3 ThryvOn® Cotton With XtendFlex® Technology

Bollgard® 3 ThryvOn® Cotton With XtendFlex® Technology is the industry’s first cotton biotech trait to provide built-in protection against key tarnished plant bug and thrips species, and may help reduce the need for some insecticide applications.*

1. FEATURES & BENEFITS

Increased Protection for Cotton Plants

ThryvOn® Technology is the industry's first cotton biotechnology trait that provides protection against key tarnished plant bug and thrips species.*

Through built-in trait technology, ThryvOn Technology defends the whole plant from these yield-robbing insects.

ThryvOn Technology provided a 73% reduction in average season-long injury from key thrips species compared to the check in farmer-managed 2021 Ground Breakers® Field Trials.**

Key tarnished plant bug species arrive early season to midseason, feeding on the squares, flowers and bolls, which causes them to fall off. With a 6.1% increase in square retention, ThryvOn Technology provided a statistically significant increase across locations*** compared to the negative check. This leads to improved yield potential.
