Brazilian approval for Dow’s HERCULEX I corn
Feb. 3, 2009
HERCULEX I, which has been in use in the United States, Argentina, and other countries for several years, protects corn against the Spodoptora frugiperda caterpillar, Brazil’s main corn pest. The technology incorporates the cry1F gene, originated from the Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) microorganism that naturally occurs in the soil, into the plant, protecting it for the plant’s entire life cycle. It also allows the control of Diatraea saccharalis.
