Will Herculex I Insect Protection reduce mold (mycotoxins) in the corn?
Available data show that corn hybrids expressing Bt Cry toxins have reduced vulnerability to mycotoxin-producing fungi, thereby enhancing the safety of the grain for livestock feed and for human food (Munkvold and Hellmich, 1999). Since Herculex I contains the Cry1F protein, hybrids containing the trait may potentially be at less risk from mycotoxin-producing fungi.
