Corn Traits & Technology
From advanced insect protection to industry-leading weed control and drought resilience, our trait technologies are built to protect your yield and improve your profitability. Fueled by one of the largest germplasm libraries in the industry, Pioneer gives you the right combination of genetics, traits and protection for your acres — proven to perform in your area.
MORE YIELD. MORE PROTECTION.
MORE FLEXIBILITY.
Behind every Pioneer® corn acre is a trait lineup engineered to defend elite genetics against whatever the season throws at it — with the herbicide flexibility to manage it your way.
| Your acre | The one to plant | The advantage |
|---|---|---|
| Corn-on-corn / CRW pressure |  | +7.7 bu/A vs. all competitors3 |
| Rotated acres |  | +4.5 bu/A vs. competitive triple stacks4 |
| Maximum above-ground pressure |  | +8.1 bu/A vs. competition4 |
Four herbicide modes of action across the lineup — 2,4-D choline, glyphosate, glufosinate and FOP — for the flexibility to stay ahead of tough weeds year after year.
