Managing pests
Insects and nematodes cause significant damage to crops. Specific pests vary by region and are constantly evolving. At Corteva Agriscience, we are focused on providing farmers with the right tools to help them manage insects and nematodes sustainably to protect their crops and land.

Corteva has a robust portfolio of insect solutions across both seed and crop protection. These include crops with biotechnology traits that enable crops to protect themselves from insect pests in geographies where they are approved to plant, as well as hybrids and varieties which have improved standability under insect pressure.
Looking ahead
Corteva is a leader in pest control solutions and is continuing to innovate in this area by developing sustainable products that can be safely used, with increased durability for farmers now and in the future.
Our Research & Development teams are delivering a progressive pipeline of generational above and below ground traits for corn insect control. These next generation products include new modes of action for durability and broad-spectrum control of above-ground pests specifically targeting tough to control pests such as fall armyworm, as well as below-ground insect control technology showing excellent control of corn rootworm. In addition, we have new concepts for soybean insect management in development.
We are also collaborating with others to bring new choices to farmers. For example, in 2022, a collaboration between Corteva, BASF, and M.S. Technologies L.L.C. was announced that set the stage for future soybean technology solutions. This first-of-its-kind agreement aimed to develop the next-generation Enlist E3® soybeans with BASF's nematode resistant soybean (NRS) trait, benefiting farmers in the United States and Canada.
Fast forward to 2025, Corteva, BASF and M.S. Technologies L.L.C. have once again joined forces with a trait licensing agreement to bring Enlist E3 soybeans and Conkesta E3® soybeans with BASF’s NRS trait to Brazilian farmers. Learn more about our herbicide tolerance traits.
