Corteva outlines Vylor spin-off plan around corn biotechnology roadmap
Corteva plans to spin off its advanced seed and genetics business as Vylor on October 1, 2026, positioning the move around a corn innovation roadmap built on proprietary biotechnology, gene editing, elite germplasm, and licensing revenue. The technologies are expected to be used across 90% of its corn business, with field trials in the Americas showing average gains of three bushels per acre and increases up to 10. Vylor also targets reduced-stature corn and a below-ground non-Bt insect control platform by 2031.
