Syngenta Stacked Insect Trait Approved by US EPA
February 2, 2007| |
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) recently approved the stacked combination trait developed by Syngenta from its new corn rootworm trait and its European corn borer trait. The double stack, AgrisureTM CB/RW, will be available in limited quantities for the 2007 growing season. This approval also enables Syngenta to launch next year its triple stacked corn, Agrisure GT/CB/RW, which includes glyphosate tolerance.
This registration follows the first EPA approval for the corn rootworm resistant trait in October 2006. The stacks will be available to US growers in various combinations through elite hybrids from Garst®, Golden Harvest® and NK® in addition to single trait offerings.
