January 11, 2008| |
Monsanto announced that it is poised to release new “blockbuster” products to farmers by 2012. The company believes that the key projects in its research and development (R&D) pipeline can deliver new values to farmers well into the next decade. The products include YieldGard Rootworm III, a product obtained through RNA interference and designed to provide improved control and enhanced durability against the rootworm, omega-3-fortified soybeans and drought-tolerant cotton. The company is also expected to introduce its second-generation corn borer technology, YieldGard VT PRO. It is in the fourth phase of the company’s R&D pipeline and currently waiting regulatory approvals.
