	SStax Genuity® SmartStax® RIB Complete™ Corn has 5% refuge corn seed in every bag. That means no calculating or planting a separate structured refuge ever again. No more separate, structured refuge. Simple and convenient. Fence row-to-fence row planting, thanks to single-bag solution. 95/5 blend – plant the most traited acres. Broadest spectrum of above- and below-ground insect protection on traited acres.
	VT3 Pro Genuity® VT Triple PRO™ Years of product testing and research have led us to Genuity® VT Triple PRO™ Corn, the industry's first dual mode-of-action above-ground insect protection in corn which is stacked with below-ground insect protection and Roundup Ready 2 Technology®. Two or more insect proteins—expressed in the same plant—prove highly effective against target insects such as corn borers or corn earworm add significant value to Insect Resistance Management (IRM). Genuity® VT Triple PRO™ Corn provides a broader spectrum of insect control against corn earworm, corn borer and fall armyworm, resulting in higher yield potential and better grain quality
	VT2 Pro Genuity® VT Double PRO™ corn is the first double-stacked corn trait with dual modes of action against above ground insects and maximum protection against corn earworm. Losing just 3 kernels per ear can equal 1 lost bushel per acre, so protect your yield with Genuity® VT Double PRO™.
	VT3 YieldGard VT Triple® insect-protected corn combines the insect protection spectrum of YieldGard VT Rootworm/RR2® and YieldGard® Corn Borer technologies and provides effective and consistent control of corn borer and rootworm throughout the larval feeding period.
	RR Roundup Ready® Corn 2 contains in-plant tolerance to Roundup® brand herbicides, enabling growers to spray Roundup® brands over the top, from planting through the V8 stage or 30- inch corn height, with excellent crop safety and no yield reduction. Compared to popular conventional corn programs, the Roundup Ready® Corn 2 system costs less, while allowing hybrids to reach their maximum yield potential.
	RR2Y Genuity® Roundup Ready 2 Yield® soybean seed and any product of a Genuity® Roundup Ready 2 Yield® soybean seed or crop can only be exported to, or used, processed or sold in countries where all necessary regulatory approvals have been granted. It is a violation of national and international law to move material containing biotech traits across boundaries into nations where import is not permitted.
	Acceleron® Seed Treatment System is designed to maximize the performance potential of your seed and traits. • Maximize the performance of Genuity® Roundup Ready 2 Yield® soybeans • Maximize the performance of Genuity® SmartStax® corn
	GT3000 Agrisure® 3000GT is the triple stack that helps reach maximum yield potential. Agrisure® 3000GT guards against both corn borer and corn rootworm, with tolerance to in-season applications of both glyphosate and glufosinate herbicides.
	VP 3111 The Agrisure Viptera™ 3111 trait stack delivers the broadest available spectrum of multi-pest control over 14 yield- and quality-robbing insects, both above and below ground. The Agrisure Viptera™ 3111 trait stack provides an average yield advantage under corn earworm pressure of 14.3 bu/A, with yield gains of up to 32 bu/A under heavy pressure.
	GT Agrisure® GT provides tolerance to in-crop applications of glyphosate-based herbicides while offering growers a full range of assurances and the freedom to choose their preferred glyphosate brand.

Benefits of New Seed Convenience High quality and high yield potential product vs. bin-run Reliable seed supply in many maturities Economics of New Seed vs. Bin-Run Average loss of ~10–15% cleanout at harvest for bin-run seed Bin-run planting rates are generally 15% higher than new certified seed Limited Warranty Benefits Dealer agronomic support before and after the sale Risk management benefits of Roundup Rewards® (over $600 million in benefits paid) New Innovations Monsanto's 100% commitment to agriculture Our very preliminary estimate is that farmers get a $6 benefit for each $1 spent on private sector research.
Before opening a bag of seed, be sure to read and understand the stewardship requirements, including applicable refuge requirements for insect resistance management, for the biotechnology traits expressed in the seed as set forth in the technology agreement that you sign. By opening and using a bag of seed, you are reaffirming your obligation to comply with the most recent stewardship requirements. Monsanto Company is a member of Excellence Through Stewardship® (ETS).

IMPORTANT IRM INFORMATION: RIB Complete™ corn does not require the planting of a structured refuge except in cotton growing regions where corn earworm is a significant pest. See the IRM/Grower Guide for additional information. Always read and follow IRM requirements. ALWAYS READ AND FOLLOW PESTICIDE LABEL DIRECTIONS. Roundup Ready® crops contain genes that confer tolerance to glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup® brand agricultural herbicides. Roundup® brand agricultural herbicides will kill crops that are not tolerant to glyphosate.
