Crop Resistance With Powercore™ Trait Technology
This season Pannar Seed is pleased to introduce six new maize hybrids with PowerCore™ trait technology to its seed portfolio. PowerCore™ technology is a comprehensive trait package for premium insect- and weed control in your high-yield potential maize crop.
The unique combination of three different Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) proteins contained in PowerCore™ technology offers improved Insect Resistant Management (IRM) against major maize pests. At the same time, its glyphosate tolerance brings a proven, convenient weed control benefit to farmers. Pests like the maize stem borer and spotted maize stem borer don’t stand a chance against this high-performing, insect-resistant seed trait.
We focus on providing advanced maize seed traits that help our farmers create new opportunities to manage their business profitably and are excited about the new technology that PowerCore™ brings to meet the needs of our customers.
This exceptional trait technology is now available in six new maize hybrids with excellent top-end yield potential.
