WideStrike® and WideStrike® 3 cotton varieties contain a comprehensive, multi-event technology that offers broad-spectrum in-plant insect protection against key lepidopteran pests including cotton bollworm, tobacco budworm, armyworms and loopers.  Multiple modes of action against certain pest species allows for improved control, reduced potential for insect resistance and higher yield potential.  Field trial efficacy results will be discussed.
