Keeping ahead of pests in our fields is a never-ending job. Having new tools to fight against the toughest pests requires constant innovation. This is especially true when you are fighting against the billion-dollar pest, corn rootworm.

NK Seeds has announced a new trait line awaiting final EPA approval and will be ready for the 2026 growing season. It will be triple-loaded with BT proteins against rootworms. Joe Bollman of NK talks about the situation.

Bollman tells us how this can be a helpful new tool available.

Similar to SCN, rootworm needs rotation of crops and tools to help us be successful in growing more bushels.

Bollman says that this is just one piece in your crop protection puzzle.

Bollman says it is not too early to be talking about these new traits with your seed rep. Contact you local Golden Harvest of NK seed rep to learn more.
