YieldGard Corn Borer corn provides effective control of European and Southwestern corn borers without harming beneficial insects, livestock, wildlife or humans. YieldGard Corn Borer produces a protein from a common soil bacterium, Bacillus thuringiensis, or Bt. The Bt protein disrupts the digestive tract of the target insect so the pest stops eating and dies. Bt proteins have a 30-year history of safe use by home gardeners and farmers as a microbial spray.
