  PRIDE G8 hybrids, combining leading genetics with Genuity™ SmartStax™ technology, feature multiple modes of action on corn borer and corn rootworm. The result is that PRIDE G8 hybrids featuring Genuity™ SmartStax™ provides the first technology combination registered and approved for a reduced 5% refuge requirement on the key insect pests faced by Canadian corn producers.|
  
  Reducing the refuge requirement from the 20% required for all other trait technologies to 5% allows you to utilize these technologies on more acres to increase your yield potential on the whole farm. In addition, less soil applied insecticides will be required to treat the reduced refuge acres.
  
  PRIDE Seeds has launched two PRIDE G8 hybrids – A6272G8 (2850 CHU) and A6535G8
  (2900 CHU). Both hybrids require only 5% refuge acres.
