BOLLGARD® 3 WITH ROUNDUP READY
FLEX® COTTON
Bollgard 3 stacked with Roundup Ready Flex provides cotton growers with insect control and weed control
options to enable superior yields, through the use of biotechnology.

Bollgard 3 contains three proteins, Cry1Ac, Cry2Ab
and Vip3A, each ‘killing’ larvae in a different way.   Bollgard 3 plays a critical role in protecting the
                                                       technology, ensuring that it will continue to perform

LEADING INSECT-CONTROL TECHNOLOGY
THREE ACTIVE PROTEINS
Each of the three proteins in Bollgard 3 – Cry1Ac, Cry2Ab and Vip3A – kills the larvae in a
different way. This allows growers to effectively control H. armigera and H. puntigera for most
of the cotton season.

REDUCED NEED FOR BROAD-SPECTRUM PESTICIDE SPRAYS
Bollgard 3 significantly reduces the need for application of broad-spectrum pesticides, giving
other insects, including beneficial species, the chance to develop.

GREATER FIRST POSITION FRUIT RETENTION
In comparison with conventional cotton plants, Bollgard 3 plants have significantly higher first-
position retention on the bottom five fruiting branches. Loss of first-position fruit can result in
a significant yield penalty.

AN EASIER WAY TO GROW COTTON
PLANT TO YOUR SCHEDULE
Bollgard 3 provides you with the flexibility to plant your cotton crop when the conditions are
most suitable.

MAXIMISE YOUR PRODUCTIVE AREA
Bollgard 3 helps you to get the most from your cotton area, while ensuring the longevity of the
technology for all growers through proactive resistance management.

CONSERVE SOIL MOISTURE
If Bollgard 3 cotton crops are defoliated before 31 March, there’s no need to pupae-bust
meaning less tillage and fuel use, and more soil moisture for subsequent crops.

Roundup Ready Flex® cotton
    Varieties containing the Roundup Ready Flex trait enable growers to use registered glyphosate herbicides
    over-the-top of the crop, promoting superior yield potential through unmatched in-crop weed control.
