Illinois Foundation Seeds facility in Tolono, IL has been qualified by Monsanto to blend Genuity® SmartStax® RIB Complete™. This allows IFSI to provide their customers with the opportunity to package and demonstrate their products this spring.

This is just another step Illinois Foundation Seeds has taken to prepare and deliver solutions to seed corn companies. “Our main focus is to bring genetics and technology to the seed industry.” Tim Johnson President of SGI Field Crops Division.

IFSI will be able to support the planting of seed corn with the first single-bag solution for insect refuge management. This new option follows EPA’s registration of Genuity® SmartStax® RIB Complete™, which will be available in limited quantities across the Corn Belt for planting this spring.

“We will continue to provide our customers with choices for refuge options that will simplify refuge management. We are driven to offer the best products that deliver success for our customers.” John Hiser CEO of Illinois Foundation Seeds, Inc.
