CHANNEL TO OFFER NEW GENUITY VT TRIPLE PRO RIB COMPLETE CORN BLENDS
Source: Monsanto news release

Expanding on its promise to deliver expert advice, customized service and elite seed products, the Channel seed brand will introduce at least fourteen new Genuity® VT Triple PRO® RIB Complete® blended seed corn products in the 85- to 118-day maturity range for 2013 planting.

Recently approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Genuity VT Triple PRO RIB Complete offers farmers dual modes-of-action for protection against above-ground insects, a single mode-of-action for corn rootworm protection and herbicide tolerance. This single bag solution is a blend of 90 percent Genuity® VT Triple PRO® and 10 percent refuge (non-Bt) seed.

"A big part of Channel seedsmanship is listening to farmers and delivering the solutions that will move their operation forward," said Morgan Dugan, Channel Brand Lead. "That's why Channel is pleased to offer even more single-bag choices for our reduced refuge products, helping farmers simplify the planting process while delivering peace of mind for refuge compliance."

With this approval, all of the products in the Channel brand reduced-refuge corn family now are refuge-in-the-bag enabled for the Corn Belt, helping to preserve the durability of insect-protection technology for growers.

"The new Genuity VT Triple PRO RIB Complete corn blends bring another level of elite seed products into the Channel portfolio," Dugan said. "This new offering gives our Seedsmen more options when recommending the products that are right for each individual farmer's field and management style."

The Channel 2013 product lineup also features:

Twenty Channel® Genuity® SmartStax® RIB Complete® blended seed corn products, offering the broadest spectrum of above- and below-ground insect protection on traited acres including two modes of action against earworm and corn rootworm. As a blend of 95 percent insect-protected and 5 percent refuge (non-Bt) seed, this offers the lowest refuge in the Corn-Growing Area.

Twenty-six Channel® Genuity® VT Double PRO® RIB Complete® corn blend products, providing a broader spectrum of insect control for above- and below-ground insects, including corn earworm, resulting in higher yield potential and better grain quality potential.

Channel® is the third largest corn seed brand and a major supplier of soybean seed in the United States. Its mission is to serve as the American farmer's most trusted source for seed.

SmartStax® multi-event technology was developed by Monsanto Company and Dow AgroSciences. For additional information, farmers can contact their Channel® representative or visit http://www.channel.com.
