GM Corn

Herbicide Tolerance

These corn varieties work in a similar manner to herbicide-tolerant soybean. They contain a gene that provides resistance to one of two broad spectrum, environmentally benign herbicides.

This modified corn provides better weed control and reduces crop injury. It allows farmers better flexibility in using certain herbicides to control weeds that can damage crops.
