Western bean cutworm pressure continues to challenge corn growers across the Midwest, especially as many Bt traits offer little to no control. This pest causes feeding damage, mold and significant yield loss, making it one you can't afford to overlook this season. That's why FMC offers proven solutions to protect your crop, from fast-acting control with Hero® insecticide to long residual protection with Vantacor® insect control and Elevest® insect control. Precise timing and consistent coverage are key to staying ahead of this pest and protecting yield potential.
