As far as pests go, one bite is one too many.
When trait corn is used on its own, your roots are subjected to damage caused by biting corn rootworms (CRW) and other pests that can’t be controlled without partially eating your roots. This root damage has been proven to negatively affect corn yields. Using Force® insecticide on trait corn provides better protection of your corn crops by controlling pests—including secondary pests which are unaffected by CRW traits like cutworms, wireworms and white grubs—before they bite your roots. Which could mean an average bump in yield of 12.9 bu/A over trait corn alone. Force is available in either the liquid formulation as Force CS or the granular formulation as Force 3G.

”I’ve definitely seen advantages of Force® over the top of traited corn acres. The insecticide allows corn rootworm to die without actually biting the root unlike with BT traits. Also, by controlling secondary pests, Force can add to a grower’s yield, which is the main goal of any grower. I always suggest Force over other products, such as Aztec®, because I have seen more consistent control. Not to mention, the use rate is more convenient.”
