A corn hybrid that includes YieldGard VT Triple® technology is genetically engineered for resistance to:

YieldGard VT Triple® technology is a genetically engineered corn hybrid that provides resistance to specific pests and incorporates tolerance to herbicides. The key features of this technology include resistance to several types of pests, in particular, corn borers and corn rootworms, which are significant threats to corn yields due to their feeding habits.

The inclusion of the "Triple" in the name refers to the fact that this hybrid has built-in resistance to three specific traits: two types of corn borers (the European corn borer and the Southwestern corn borer) as well as resistance to certain types of rootworm pest species.

Additionally, while YieldGard VT Triple is primarily noted for its pest resistance, it can also be integrated into systems where herbicide tolerance features are included, although its main defining aspect is the pest resistance. This combination serves to enhance yield potential while providing a solution to pest pressures.

By stating that YieldGard VT Triple technology provides resistance to all the listed options, it encapsulates the broader scope of the technology in managing both pest-related and some herbicide-related challenges within corn production. The comprehensive nature of this technology is essential for farmers looking to maximize productivity while managing pest resistance effectively.
