BAYER’S THRYVON TECHNOLOGY FULLY REGISTERED FOR THE 2023 COTTON SEASON
February 6, 2023
Bayer has received all final regulatory approvals for its ThryvOn Technology, making Bollgard 3 ThryvOn cotton with XtendFlex Technology commercially available for the 2023 cotton planting season.
ThryvOn Technology provides built-in protection and may reduce the number of insecticide applications needed for control of key tarnished plant bug and thrips species. The trait demonstrated proven success during Bayer Ground Breakers Field Trials in 2021 and 2022, providing farmers additional tools to protect against these damaging insects. In those trials, the ThryvOn technology was shown to reduce average season-long injury from these harmful pests, which can provide for a stronger start to cotton plants and improved yield potential.
