Q: Do DEKALB®, Asgrow® and Deltapine® brands only sell traited seed?

A: While traited seeds offer you additional options for your specific needs, you can also choose from a variety of conventional seed products from DEKALB®, Asgrow® and Deltapine® that still offer exclusive genetics. Find products in your area using the Seed Finder tool.

Q: What is the difference between traited seed and conventional?

A: Conventional seeds offer you exclusive genetics, while traited seeds offer that, plus innovative trait integration designed to specifically minimize risk from outside threats such as drought and pest pressure. Traited seed can also offer more flexibility in weed control. Learn more about traits that help maximize your yield potential here.

Q: What are the advantages of traited seed?

A: Because traits are built into the seed, they help protect your crop from threats while reducing the need for additional pesticide application.

Q: How do I determine which trait is right for me?

A: Traits for row crops are designed to help each plant withstand a variety of pressures that negatively impact yield potential. Traits offer 24/7 protection from damaging insects, typically without the need for additional pesticide application, ultimately helping to improve your yield and profit potential. Traits can also offer tolerance to herbicides, giving you access to more options with more modes of action to control yield-robbing weeds.
