Vylor Unveils Ambitious Corn Innovation Roadmap with Industry-First Traits

Corteva Inc. has unveiled its corn innovation roadmap for Vylor, its spinoff scheduled to separate on October 1, 2026.

The multiyear roadmap aims to strengthen Vylor's corn market leadership across core geographies, expand farmer choice and flexibility, and deliver long-term, royalty-advantaged growth. According to Sam Eathington, chief technology officer of the future Vylor, 'Corn is already one of the most planted crops in the world, and its importance will only continue to grow.'

Vylor's corn portfolio includes industry-first traits designed to improve yield and yield stability. In field trials across the Americas, these traits delivered an incremental 3 bushels per acre on average, with gains of up to 10 bushels per acre.

The roadmap is expected to deliver more than $2 billion in incremental revenue by 2035, including licensing. Vylor plans to launch seven new corn technology platforms through 2035, which together will be sold across 90% of its corn business.
