BENEFITS OF WIDESTRIKE INSECT PROTECTION

WideStrike 3

WideStrike® 3 Insect Protection is the first three-gene Bt technology in cotton for better trait durability and resistance management. Our exclusive insect protection trait features three proteins from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt):

Cry1Ac (Bt protein)
Cry1F (Bt protein)
Vip3A (vegetative insecticidal Bt protein)
You won't find this combination of powerful genes in any other Bt cotton.

WideStrike 3 protects your yield and quality by providing season-long control against a wide spectrum of damaging lepidoptera, including improved control of cotton bollworm for reduced applications. With PhytoGen® cottonseed and WideStrike 3, you get better insect control to overcome on-farm challenges for higher production.

WideStrike Insect Protection

WideStrike® Insect Protection offers a two-gene insect protection trait that expresses two Bt proteins in cotton plants for industry-leading control of fall armyworm and other lepidopteran pests:

Cry1Ac (Bt protein)
Cry1F (Bt protein)

"I didn’t spend a dime to control worms in the PhytoGen W3FE varieties. WideStrike 3 kept money in my pocket during the summer."

 

DAVID PEARSON, Missouri Cotton Producer

"We turned to PhytoGen cottonseed because it offers three modes of action to combat weeds. Along with weed control, PhytoGen produces higher yields than leading competitors."
