DuPont currently markets three crop varieties developed using biotechnology: soybean and canola that are tolerant to the herbicide glyphosate; and corn that provides protection against specific insect larvae that feed on corn and against the herbicides glufosinate and glyphosate. These products, sold under the Pioneer® brand, provide farmers with new crop management options and increased productivity. Before marketed, these products were rigorously tested and reviewed by regulatory authorities for food and feed safety, environmental impacts and product performance.
