Optimum^® AcreMax^® insect protection provides a single-bag, multiple modes of action solution for above-ground insect protection. It contains 95 percent of a Pioneer^® brand hybrid with two modes of action above ground insect protection (HX1, YGCB) blended with 5 percent in-the-bag refuge of a similar non-Bt hybrid with herbicide tolerance (RR2 or RR2/LL) to meet corn borer refuge requirements.

Optimum^® AcreMax^® 1 insect protection was the industry’s first in-the-bag solution for corn rootworm refuge. This solution eliminates the challenges associated with planting an in-field or adjacent corn rootworm refuge. Each product contains 90 percent of a Pioneer^® brand hybrid with Herculex^® XTRA (CRW/CB/LL/RR2) insect protection blended with 10 percent of a similar Pioneer hybrid with the Herculex I insect protection trait (CB/LL/RR2), which serves as the corn rootworm refuge in the seed bag. The 20 percent structured corn borer refuge may be planted up to ½ mile away. This helps you maximize field-by-field productivity and increase yield potential in fields with corn rootworm pressure by placing in-plant protection where needed.
