Benefits of WideStrike Insect Protection
WideStrike® 3 Insect Protection is the first three-gene Bt technology in cotton for better trait durability and resistance management. Our exclusive insect protection trait features three proteins from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt):
- Cry1Ac (Bt protein)
- Cry1F (Bt protein)
- Vip3A (vegetative insecticidal Bt protein)
You won’t find this combination of powerful genes in any other Bt cotton.
WideStrike 3 protects your yield and quality by providing season-long control against a wide spectrum of damaging lepidoptera, including improved control of cotton bollworm for reduced applications. With PhytoGen® cottonseed and WideStrike 3, you get better insect control to overcome on-farm challenges for higher production.

WideStrike® Insect Protection offers a two-gene insect protection trait that expresses two Bt proteins in cotton plants for industry-leading control of fall armyworm and other lepidopteran pests:
- Cry1Ac (Bt protein)
- Cry1F (Bt protein)
Trait stewardship is important to keep technologies sustainable and viable for seasons to come.
