Syngenta announced today [2/28/13] that the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has fully deregulated Agrisure Duracade, enabling launch in the US for the 2014 planting season.
Agrisure Duracade expresses a unique protein to control corn rootworm. It has a different mode of action to Syngenta's existing Agrisure RW trait. When combined these traits provide unmatched insect control: USDA data show a tenfold reduction in Western corn rootworm beetle emergence and superior performance against all comparable traits.
