1. Farmer Benefit: Two Unique Modes of Action
Through Third Generation of Soy Weed Control
Dicamba-Tolerant Soybeans
Dicamba herbicide:
Genomics
DICAMBA TOLERANT
economical and doesn’t
persist in soil
Conventional
Breeding
Tolerance demonstrated
Molecular at both pre-emergence
NON TRANSGENIC
Breeding
and post-emergence
application timing Post emergent application of 1.5 lb/a
Biotechnology
Effective against most
broadleaf weeds, no dicot
crop specificity
Will add Roundup®
agricultural herbicide
application flexibility with
Roundup Ready® stacks
No injury from Pre(1.5 lb/a) and
POST-V3(1.5 lb/a) application of dicamba
