intacta

Intacta is a term derived from Latin, where intactus means unbroken or whole. In modern usage it functions as a name or brand in various contexts, and as a grammatical form it appears in some Latin-based expressions adopted into other languages.

The most widely publicized use of the name in recent years is in agriculture, where Intacta RR2 PRO has been a trade name for a stacked trait in genetically modified soybean seeds developed by Monsanto (which was later acquired by Bayer). The product combines tolerance to glyphosate herbicides with pest resistance, and it has been marketed in several countries under the Intacta banner. Introduction and regulation of Intacta RR2 PRO have varied by jurisdiction, with ongoing debates about GM crops, farm economics, environmental impact, and labeling requirements.

As a marketing label, Intacta is intended to convey durability and reliability, drawing on the Latin connotation of being intact or unmoved. Beyond that agricultural usage, the word remains a Latin-derived term that can appear as a brand name or descriptor in different industries, though there is no single, universal meaning tied to the term beyond its linguistic roots and the specific branding in a given context.

In summary, intacta mainly identifies a Latin-origin term meaning whole or unbroken, and it is most prominently associated in contemporary discourse with Monsanto/Bayer’s Intacta RR2 PRO GM soybean trait.
