    VT4PRO® with RNAi Technology

    For farmers prioritizing performance, VT4PRO® with RNAi Technology will be the first product from Bayer to combine the three built-in modes of action in Trecepta® Technology, an elite above-ground pest package for corn, with two below-ground modes of action including RNAi Technology — the latest defense to help manage corn rootworm. VT4PRO Technology is the newest product featuring the next generation of protection against corn rootworm.

    Trait Highlights

    The Widest Spectrum of Insect Defense From Bayer

    With above-and below-ground protection against some of the toughest corn pests, VT4PRO Technology will be a versatile product with a broad geographic fit, helping to provide farmers the protection they need.

    The Power of RNAi Technology

    Developed by Bayer to combat corn rootworm, RNAi Technology offers a specific mode of action against the pest. Because RNAi Technology works differently than a soil-applied insecticide or Bt traits to control corn rootworm, it can help increase a corn plant's ability to defend itself against the billion-dollar bug1.

    Proven Herbicide Tolerance

    VT4PRO Technology contains Roundup Ready 2 Technology®, allowing the plant to withstand glyphosate treatments used to prevent weeds. By reducing weeds, plants have better access to crucial nutrients and water.
