SmartStax corn planted in Texas

The first known planting of a SmartStax corn hybrid for commercial production took place last week in Texas. Dow AgroSciences says the seed was sold through one of their seed affiliates, Triumph Seed.

“We’re excited that the first SmartStax corn hybrid planted in the U.S. for commercial production was sold through an affiliate of Dow AgroSciences. Corn farmers who plant hybrids with SmartStax will benefit from increased productivity due to improved pest protection and a reduced refuge,” said Ben Kaehler, General Manager for the Dow AgroSciences Seed Affiliates.
