JC Robinson Seeds will be offering YieldGard Plus corn seed. This new product recently received EPA clearance and is the stack of YieldGard Corn Borer and YieldGard Rootworm technologies.  Because of JC Robinson Seeds’ expertise and market area, the Company is very pleased to be an early supplier of YieldGard Plus corn technology.

 JC Robinson Seeds says first year availability will be good and the Company will be able to meet introductory needs.

Head of Corn Products, Dr. Calvin Treat said, “This technology is very important because it controls two major corn pests. YieldGard Plus corn technology, combined with geography-specific genetics will deliver more consistent performance and profitability over a wider variety of on-farm conditions.”

JC Robinson Seeds’ Director of Marketing, Chuck Lee, commented on why the Company pursued YieldGard Plus corn technology. “We listen to our customers, and their point was loud and clear. Customers have been quick to anticipate the benefits of YieldGard Plus corn in that the technology is simple and effective. These characteristics are extremely important to today’s producers.”

Individual state approval within the US is required before purchase and planting of this product.  Shipments of YieldGard Plus will start shortly after approval by Japan. JC Robinson Seeds always supports refuge requirements and grain channeling.
