Aug. 30, 2024 By Rhonda Brooks, AgWeb.com As corn growers start planning for the 2025 season, they will have access to new product innovations from Corteva Agriscience and Pioneer for broad-acre use. One of Pioneer's newest innovations is its Vorceed Enlist corn, reports Brandon Walter, U.S. corn marketing lead for the company. Vorceed Enlist corn combines three modes of action for above-ground insect protection and three modes of action for below-ground insect protection, including RNAi technology. "This is part of our seed-innovation work to help our farmer customers, especially those with corn-on-corn acres," Walter says. "The modes of action for above-ground protection target pests like European corn borer, fall armyworm and southwestern corn borer." In addition, Vorceed Enlist corn features three distinct modes of action to protect crops against corn rootworm (CRW), including Bt proteins and an RNAi approach. The RNAi technology suppresses the expression of specific genes in corn rootworms, causing them to die when they feed on the plants' roots. Resicore Rev Herbicide Offers Application Flexibility Also being ramped up for a broad introduction in the 2025 season is Corteva Agriscience Resicore Rev herbicide. It can be used for traited corn hybrids and conventional corn, as well as on reduced- and no-till acres. The new premix formulation features three modes of action - acetochlor (Group 15), mesotrione (Group 27) and clopyralid (Group 4) - to address 75 tough broadleaf and grass weeds, including Palmer amaranth, waterhemp, marestail and giant ragweed. "Resicore Rev gives us pumped-up flexibility from an application-timing standpoint," says Scherder. "It can be applied preplant, preemergence or postemergence on corn up to 24 inches tall." The flexibility for use is a huge benefit for farmers and retailers alike, says Brandon Geiger, a seventh-generation farmer and owner of Geiger Ag, based in northeast Kansas.
