The Sementes Agroceres brand takes its hybrids with the highest productivity in the South region to the Rural Coopavel show, launching two technologies for this year's off-season. The AG9000 Pro 3 hybrid has high production potential, super precociousness and grain quality. The brand will also present AG8780 Pro 3 corn, which offers a high production ceiling, heavy grains and rapid flowering, which helps reduce risks against drought and frost.
As part of the celebration of its 70th anniversary, Sementes Agroceres is promoting the Pride of Producing campaign. It is a digital platform, with each new testimonial received, the brand will plant a tree seedling in a permanent preservation area located at the Monsanto unit in São José dos Campos (SP). The brand also brings VTPRO3 technology to the fair: protection of the roots of the corn plant. The technology has two BTs proteins against aerial part pests and one specific against pinworm larvae (Diabrotica speciosa), a pest that stays in the soil and feeds on corn roots. It also acts against airborne pests that attack the leaves, stalk and ear of corn - fall armyworm, earworm, elasm and stalk borer.
