Agrisure Viptera Trait Stacks Approved in Mexico and the Philippines

The Agrisure Viptera 3111, a trait stack of Agrisure Viptera trait and Agrisure® 3000GT and Agrisure Viptera 3110, a trait stack of Agrisure Viptera trait with Agrisure GT/CB/LL traits were given import approvals by the governments of Mexico and the Philippines for food, feed, or processing use.

The Agrisure Viptera 3111 trait stack contains the Vip3A non-crystalline insect control protein that allows protection against multi-pest complex insects, including corn earworm, fall armyworm, Western bean cutworm, black cutworm, dingy cutworm, common stalk borer and sugar cane borer, among others. The Agrisure Viptera 3110 trait stack provides broad-spectrum lepidopteran control and herbicide tolerance in areas where rootworm management is not a primary concern.

The single Agrisure Viptera trait is also approved for cultivation in Canada and Brazil, and the trait is approved for import to Australia, Brazil, Canada, Mexico, the Philippines, Japan and Taiwan. In addition to Mexico and the Philippines, the Agrisure Viptera 3111 trait stack and the Agrisure Viptera 3110 trait stack are approved for import into Canada and Japan, the report said.
