This past year, DuPont received the 2007 Agrow Award for “Best R&D Pipeline” in recognition of the broad array of new technology and biotech traits in development across the DuPont Agriculture & Nutrition platform. The depth and breath of the DuPont pipeline across new chemistries and genetic traits make it unique to the industry.

The following is just a sampling of the exciting work done by scientists within the DuPont companies. Pioneer Hi-Bred is preparing to launch its new Optimum™ GAT™ trait in soybeans, which offers growers expanded choices for controlling a broad spectrum of weeds through both glyphosate and ALS herbicide tolerance. The trait also will be introduced in corn and other crops.
