Protection That Will Put You

A Step Ahead

Built in. Built to win.

Performance Powered
by Protection

Bollgard® 3 ThryvOn™ cotton with XtendFlex® Technology is the industry's first cotton biotech trait to provide built-in protection against key early season thrips species and later-season tarnished plant bug species.

And its built-in protection offers added management flexibility by potentially reducing the need for some foliar insecticide applications.*

Reduce Thrips Species.
Reduce the Damage.

Key thrips species attack the terminal bud of the young cotton seedlings, causing damage to new leaves as they grow, which can delay growth, fruit set and even cause the plant to die. ThryvOn™ Technology plants start with early season vigor due to a lack of thrip species feeding, potentially reducing the need to spray for thrips species.*

Strong Defense Against
Tarnished Plant Bug Species
for a Higher Yield Potential

Key tarnished plant bug species arrive early season to midseason, feeding on the squares, flowers and bolls, which causes them to fall off. With a 6.1% increase in square retention, ThryvOn Technology provided a statistically significant increase across locations*** compared to the negative check. This leads to improved yield potential.
