GREAT NEW OPTIONS FOR SOYBEANS
LibertyLink® soybeans with Ignite® herbicide is the only nonselective alternative to glyphosate-tolerant systems. LiberyLink keeps weed control simple and allows growers to continue farming efficiently. Ignite controls more than 120 broadleaf weeds and grasses including weeds resistant to glyphosate and multiple-herbicide classes What's more, there is no know resistance globally.
Seeds containing the Roundup Ready® trait and the Genuity® Roundup Ready 2 Yield® trait are protected under numerous patents, including Patent No. RE39,247. It is unlawful to save Roundup Ready® Soybeans or Genuity® Roundup Ready 2 Yield® Soybeans for planting or transfer to others for use as a planting seed.
Iron Chlorosis & Brown Stem Rot 1=Tolerance 5=Susceptible Plant Type N=Narrow I=Intermediate branching B=Bushy NRS=Stacked RR and STS PGR-Phytophthora Root Rot Gene Resistance Phytophthora Root Rot Gene Resistance is determined by laboratory inoculations with specific races to determine: Ra=Rpsla=resistance to races 1-11, 13-15, 17-18, 21,22 Rc=Rpslc=resistance to races 1-3, 6-11, 13, 15, 17, 21,23,24 Rk=Rplk=resistance to races 1-11, 13-15, 17-18, 21, 22 R3=Rps3=resistance to races 1-5, 8,9,11,13,14,16,18,23,25 N=No specific race resistance H=Heterozygous
THERE ARE MANY BENEFITS OF PURCHASING NEW SEED Purchasing new seed is a convenient way to ensure getting a product that is highest quality and highest yielding vs. bin run. Our seed meets strict quality standards, and you can rest assured that every bag is professionally handled and rigorously tested. Buying new seed dramatically reduces splits and foreign matter and ensures varietal purity because we use germination tests to ensure peace of mind. New seed is also weed free. The economics of buying new seed vs. using bin run beans is a no-brainer. The average loss associated with cleanout is 10 - 15% for bin run soybeans and bin run planting rates are generally 15% higher than new certified seed. There are some limited warranty-benefits associated with buying new seed. With new seed, you get dealer agronomic support before and after the sale. With the purchase of a Roundup® brand herbicide, you can participate in the Roundup Rewards® program, which has paid out over $600M to growers since 1997. Buying new seed supports new innovations. Our preliminary estimate is that farmers get a $6 benefit for each $1 spent on private sector research. Supporting Monsanto's 100% commitment to agriculture.
