Herculex® I corn expresses a protein, derived from naturally-occurring Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), that enables plants to be protected from targeted pests.
•
Corn borers must feed on a Herculex I protected corn plant in order to ingest the Bt protein, which causes the gut to rupture and the insect to die.
•
Herculex I works as a deterrent to fall armyworm, western bean cutworm, and other late-season pests, reliably protecting the crop from significant damage.
