QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Can I order these products?
Customers may
now place orders for these new YieldGard VT based products.
When will the YieldGard VT
products be available for planting?
These new
products are currently in production in South America with
expected placement in the US about Mid-April 2007.
What will the YieldGard VT
Triple cost?
YieldGard VT
Triple products will qualify (just like other triples) for
the $15 per unit Home Run Hybrid Discount as well as other
appropriate discounts. Note: List Prices are still to be
announced.
Will the 6197VT qualify for any
special programs?
The 6197VT
will not be one of the 70th Anniversary Celebration
products. However, other appropriate discounts will apply.
What is the supply of these new
products? Can I order as much as I want?
Order all you
want of these new products. Allocations may be necessary
since the total supply of VT and VT3 products are less than
10% of the current Triple supply.
How is the VT Triple different
from the YG Plus/RR2 corn products?
The VT stands
for VecTran technology which combines Roundup Ready Corn 2
and YieldGard Rootworm into a single DNA insertion process.
This more efficient process results in improved consistency
in trait expression.
