Reduced Refuge Acres Maximize Yield

Mycogen® SmartStax™ hybrids maximize whole-farm yield potential by reducing the above- and below-ground refuge requirement from 20 percent down to 5 percent.¹ These elite hybrids deliver the broadest spectrum of in-plant insect protection — including European corn borer, corn rootworm, corn earworm, fall armyworm, western bean cutworm and black cutworm — through multiple modes of action.

Value Calculator for SmartStax™

Growers can plant Mycogen SmartStax on 95 percent of their acres — that means more yield on more acres. The value calculator for SmartStax shows how planting Mycogen SmartStax benefits growers.

SmartStax™ hybrids demonstrated an average 11 bu./A yield advantage compared with non-Bt hybrids under minimal insect pressure in yield studies conducted in multiple states.

Broadest-spectrum Insect Control

Mycogen SmartStax™ corn hybrids offer the broadest-spectrum control ever available — including European corn borer, corn rootworm, corn earworm, fall armyworm, western bean cutworm and black cutworm.

Multiple Modes of Action

The multiple modes of action in SmartStax are expressed throughout the entire plant. With SmartStax, insects are affected in two areas of the gut instead of just one for improved control and reduced insect resistance concerns. First-generation traits only offer a single mode of action.

Latest Plant Genetics

Developed in our state-of-the-art breeding facilities, Mycogen SmartStax hybrids utilize proven, high-yielding genetics.

Higher Whole-farm Yield Potential

Growers who plant Mycogen® SmartStax® hybrids can protect more acres from insect damage, and experience greater whole-farm yield potential.

Dow AgroSciences Innovation

As a co-developer of SmartStax and the company backing Mycogen Seeds, Dow AgroSciences has a long history of developing scientific solutions to increase yield. In 1988, Dow AgroSciences discovered the first Herculex® Insect Protection gene — one of the key technologies contained in Mycogen SmartStax hybrids. We’re also working on the yield advancement tools of the future,
including a new family of herbicide
tolerance traits.
