This ensures susceptible insects are nearby to mate with rare resistant ones that may emerge from the Bt corn. Registration also was received for South Africa. Registration is pending in Brazil and Indonesia. Longer term, Monsanto is working toward registration in China, the Philippines, Thailand, Bulgaria, Honduras, Venezuela, Mexico and Hungary. YieldGard corn is fully approved for export to Europe and Japan.
Biotechnology is a potent and valuable tool that can help make foods more productive and nutritious.
Innovations Monsanto is devoting a significant portion of its research and development effort to the development of YieldGard hybrids that control a larger spectrum of harmful insects. Such a product may further reduce growers' input costs and, potentially, their use of chemical insecticides. Other products in the development phase have the potential of providing fall armyworm and corn earworm control for the U. S. market, improved control of African stem borer for the South Africa market, and pink stem borer control, targeted for Italy and France. Here for map.
