 Dekalb Vietnam has launched the first integrated knowledge transfer field in the southern province of Dong Nai to introduce genetically modified (GM) corn seeds to farmers. The project aims to give Vietnamese farmers a chance to grow corn using seeds with weed management and insect protection traits for the first time in their lives. Farmers are also expected to transfer the knowledge to thousands of fellow farmers to better capture yield potential and make farming operations more stable and profitable.
