Genuity® SmartStax™: Introducing the Most Advanced, All-In-One Corn Trait
The Genuity® SmartStax™ Corn technology provides control of the absolute broadest spectrum of above and below-ground insects and herbicide tolerance.
Employing new innovations from Monsanto and Dow, this revolutionary new corn trait platform is achieved through best-in-class trait integration to enable the highest level of whole-farm yield potential.

Genuity® VT Triple Pro™:
Years of product testing and research have led us to Genuity™ VT Triple PRO™ Corn, the industry’s first dual mode-of-action above-ground insect protection in corn which is stacked with below-ground insect protection and Roundup Ready 2® Technology.
Two or more insect proteins—expressed in the same plant—prove highly effective against target insects such as corn borer or corn earworm add significant value to Insect Resistance Management (IRM).
Genuity® VT Triple PRO™ Corn provides a broader spectrum of insect control against corn earworm, corn borer and fall armyworm, resulting in higher yield potential and better grain quality.
Genuity® VT Triple PRO™ Corn also gives farmers in the South the opportunity to reduce their refuge acres (50% to 20%), which can increase profitability on the farm.

Genuity® VT Double Pro™:
Genuity® VT Double PRO™ Corn is the latest innovation from the Genuity® brand family of traits. It’s the only double-stacked corn trait with dual modes-of-action for above-ground insect protection and 5% refuge in the Corn Belt
Agrisure® 3000GT
The Agrisure® 3000GT triple stack provides the ultimate in yield protection and the flexibility to choose management practices that meet individual needs.
Agrisure® GT
Agrisure® GT hybrids provide tolerance to in-crop applications of glyphosate-based herbicides while offering growers a full range of assurances and the freedom to choose their preferred glyphosate brand.
Corn hybrids with the Agrisure GT trait exhibit outstanding tolerance to in-crop applications of glyphosate-based herbicides – the active ingredient in Roundup® and Touchdown® herbicides. Glyphosate controls weeds by inhibiting EPSPS, a key enzyme necessary for photosynthesis. Agrisure GT causes the corn hybrid to overproduce EPSPS so it can withstand applications of glyphosate with minimal damage to the crop or resulting grain.
The technology behind the Agrisure GT trait, the GA21 event, was developed between the late 1980s through the mid 1990s and was first marketed in 1998 as Roundup Ready® corn. Since then, thousands of growers on millions of acres have experienced the benefits of the GA21 technology.
Syngenta acquired the exclusive rights to commercialize the GA21 event, which cleared the way for Syngenta to offer an alternative glyphosate-tolerant trait choice to growers through multiple seed company partners. The result was the Agrisure GT trait.
