“When it comes to rootworm damage it feels like if you have the wrong trait in the wrong place, you are talking 30-40 bushel loss. Putting the right hybrid on the right farm and then if the trait is week pairing it with GUARD X will be phenomenal for costumers as far as really maximizing hybrid performance on an acre. GUARD X is just going to give us a little more insurance to make sure we get to the finish line like we need to be.”
