Corn
Our Trait Lineup Offers Proven Protection Through Advanced Technology.
DEKALB® is focused on rapidly integrating traits farmers want into the newest high-yielding, exclusive
genetics. Most importantly, this ensures we deliver a broad lineup of products that combine the best germplasm with
the latest traits for maximum yield potential.
YieldGard VT Triple PRO™
- YieldGard VT Triple PRO offers the first ever dual mode of action for above-ground insect protection,
which can improve grain quality and increase yields. It provides broad spectrum insect protection
against target pests, including corn borer, while adding two previously uncontrolled pests: corn earworm
and fall armyworm. This trait, in combination with exclusive DEKALB genetics, provides farmers with
superior performance with the next generation of insect protection.
- Because DEKALB with YieldGard VT Triple PRO contains dual modes of action, a refuge reduction for corn
borer has been approved in the South from 50 percent to 20 percent. This reduction allows now for a
standard 20 percent refuge in both the South and throughout the Corn Belt.
- Advanced root protection, stalk protection and weed control, maximizing yield potential
- More consistent level of insecticidal protein resulting in improved insect protection
- Enhanced trait performance through the use of VecTran® Technology
- Broader spectrum of weed control through Roundup Ready 2 Technology
- Superior crop safety
- Unsurpassed weed control when used in the Roundup Ready® Corn 2 system
- Outstanding crop safety
- Wider application window when used in the Roundup Ready Corn 2 system

IMPORTANT: Grain Marketing and Seed Availability: YieldGard VT Triple PRO™ has received the
necessary approvals in the United States, however, as of 07/30/08, approvals have not been received in certain
major corn export markets. YieldGard VT Triple PRO will not be launched and seed will not be available until
after import approvals are received in appropriate major corn export markets. When launched, YieldGard VT Triple
PRO will bear the Market Choices mark, indicating the need to find a market for the crop that will not ship the
grain or its processed products to Europe. It is a violation of national and international law to move material
containing biotech traits across boundaries into nations where import is not permitted. Other stewardship
requirements may apply; consult with your seed representative for current stewardship information.
IMPORTANT: The following information is current as of 08/07/08: YieldGard Plus and YieldGard Rootworm with
Roundup Ready Corn 2 are grandfathered for import and use in processed feed in the E.U. YieldGard Plus with
Roundup Ready Corn 2, YieldGard VT Rootworm/RR2 and YieldGard VT Triple are neither approved nor grandfathered
and there is zero tolerance for these traits in processed feed imported in the E.U. Growers of all products
bearing the Market Choices mark must talk to their grain handler to confirm the handler's buying position for
grain from these products. It is a violation of national and international law to move material containing
biotech traits across boundaries into nations where import is not permitted. B.t. products may not yet be
registered in all states. Check with your Monsanto representative for the registration status in your state.
ALWAYS READ AND FOLLOW PESTICIDE LABEL DIRECTIONS. Roundup Ready® crops contain genes that confer
tolerance to glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup® agricultural herbicides.
Roundup® agricultural herbicides will kill crops that are not tolerant to glyphosate. YieldGard
VTPRO™ and YieldGard VT Triple PRO™ commercialization is dependent on many
factors, including successful conclusion of regulatory process. YieldGard VT PRO™ and YieldGard
VT Triple PRO™ have not been registered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. It is a
violation of federal law to promote or sell an unregistered pesticide. Respect the Refuge®,
