Powercore Refuge Advanced provides above-ground insect protection in corn via three different modes of action, and will be launched as early as the 2015 growing season, Dow said.

The product will be offered as a refuge-in-the-bag product for planting convenience and refuge compliance, and will be stacked with the latest in herbicide-tolerant technology, pending regulatory approvals.

Dow AgroSciences previously launched Powercore in Brazil and Argentina in 2012, and says it is “excelling in the marketplace.”

“Having product options is important to corn growers, and Powercore will be an outstanding choice for growers looking for superior above-ground pest control,” says Ben Kaehler, U.S. Seeds general manager, Dow AgroSciences. “Powercore will control a wide range of yield-robbing insects so growers can get the most out of every corn acre.”
