Performance

The Duracade trait expresses a protein with a unique binding site in the gut of corn rootworm, helping hybrids develop a stronger, more robust root system that supplies your plants with optimal water and nutrient uptake. Stronger roots lead to healthier plants that stand all season long, helping to realize the crop’s genetic yield potential and increase profit potential.
