Argentina gives Swiss Syngenta approval for quadruple stack corn

Swiss Syngenta has received Argentinean approval for its MIR604 corn rootworm trait and for its quadruple corn stack Agrisure Viptera 4 on Thursday (Mar 22).

The approval was granted by the Secretary of Agriculture in Argentina.

Agrisure Viptera 4 corn seed sets combine Syngenta's corn rootworm trait and performance against lepidopteran pests.

Syngenta's triple stack corn seed with herbicide tolerance and above-ground insect control was approved in November 2011.
