Advanced Seed Corn Technology.

Wyffels Hybrids brings the most advanced seed corn technology to your farm better than any other seed company. It's our promise to you.

One thing that separates Wyffels Hybrids products from our competitors is the independent research and testing program they must each survive. We operate more test sites in our marketing area than other companies can or would. But it's essential to finding and commercializing the highest-performing hybrids adapted to your local area and your local pests.

These independent research sites allow us to evaluate technology objectively, unencumbered by a parent or holding company. They ensure we bring genetics and trait platforms together only where and when our objective, firsthand knowledge says it fits. We remain completely focused on only those technologies which can best help you increase whole farm income.

This is our recipe for truly innovative products. Following is more detail on the specific seed technologies that help us deliver on our promise to you.

SmartStax®

Maximum Protection to Mitigate Risk.

SS is the most durable above- and below-ground insect control trait on the market. It provides multiple modes of action against a broad spectrum of pests—including European corn borer and corn rootworm.

It also brings tolerance to both Roundup® and Liberty® herbicides. With Wyffels RIB, SmartStax® ensures refuge compliance in one step. Wyffels packaging already includes 5% non-B.t. seed still resistant to both glyphosate and glufosinate, so just fill the planter and go. No separate, structured refuge is required.

VT Double PRO®

Maximize Profitability and Peace of Mind.

VT2P is an excellent choice where corn rootworm is not a concern. It provides advanced technology with multiple modes of action against above-ground insects such as corn borer, corn earworm and fall armyworm. Roundup Ready® 2 Technology completes the package. With Wyffels RIB, VT2P ensures refuge compliance in one step. Wyffels packaging already includes 5% non-B.t. seed, so just fill the planter and go. No separate, structured refuge is required.

DroughtGard®

Maximize efficiency and conserve.

DROUGHTGARD® is a biotech trait that increases the plant’s ability to conserve water and grow more efficiently. Built on top of genetics that feature sound agronomics and natural stress tolerance, DroughtGard allows hybrids to not just out-yield competitors in normal environments, but to hold more yield potential in drought-stressed environments.

Roundup Ready® Corn 2

Maximize weed control.

Open the door to unsurpassed, broad-spectrum weed control with proven crop safety—plant Wyffels hybrids with Roundup Ready® Corn 2. Grower satisfaction with the Roundup Ready corn system is outstanding. Maximum control of both grasses and broadleaf weeds is achieved, and the system offers excellent flexibility due to a wide window of application. Many growers report yield advantages over conventional corn herbicide programs.

SmartStax® PRO with RNAi Technology

Maximize Protection Against Above and Below-Ground Pests

SSP combines the proven benefits of SmartStax® with an additional, unique RNAi-based mode of action, becoming the first product with three modes of action for improved CRW protection over a range of pressures. It also brings tolerance to both Roundup® and LIberty® herbicides.

Trecepta® Corn

Maximize Protection Against Above-Ground Pests

Built on the proven VT2P technology, Trecepta technology gives you more complete control against European and other above-ground pests (see chart) plus Roundup Ready® 2 Technology.
