On July 17, Syngenta announced it has received notification of import approval from the Chinese Ministry of Agriculture for its Agrisure Duracade trait (Event 5307). The approval covers corn grain and processing co-products, including dried distillers grains (DDGs), for food and feed use.
“Obtaining this regulatory approval opens up new opportunities within our portfolio,” says David Hollinrake, president of Syngenta Seeds, LLC. “Moving forward, growers can expect expanded access to the full depth and breadth of our genetic portfolio with more choice and exciting new hybrids that offer elite genetics plus the latest in corn rootworm control technology.”
Corn rootworm costs U.S. growers more than $1 billion annually due to yield losses and costs of control measures. Agrisure Duracade, which features a unique mode of action, helps deliver control of corn rootworm for a healthier corn crop with higher yield potential. A U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) study on Agrisure Duracade showed a 99.7 percent reduction in adult beetle emergence, higher than any other current rootworm product on the market.*
