Pioneer launched its new Enlist corn trait at the Commodity Classic. Pioneer U.S. Corn Lead Adam Theis calls the new Vorceed trait next generation corn rootworm technology. “It brings a lot of benefits and flexibility to how farmers with corn-on-corn rotations want to manage that rotation. First of all, there are three modes of action for above and below ground insects, including a new mode of action into that stack. There’s also four herbicide-tolerance genes, with a notable one being Enlist. This is the first time as a Pioneer brand we’re bringing Enlist corn into the rotation as well.” Theis says Vorceed Enlist stacks on Pioneer’s Qrome technology. “We introduced a molecular stack in Qrome that unlocked a lot of yield potential, showcased with a six to eight bushel per acre advantage over SmartStax since the product was launched in 2019. That same molecular stack will be in Vorceed Enlist so we expect that yield advantage to maintain.” Hear the story.
