HIGHER YIELDS
CLEAN FIELDS
6.0
In more than 20 farmer trials, farmers found that
Genuity® Roundup Ready 2 Yield® soybeans outyielded
LibertyLink® soybeans by more than 6.0 bushels per acre.*
Used together, Roundup Ready 2 Yield soybeans and Roundup
Ready PLUS® Weed Management Solutions delivered higher yields
and just as clean fields as LibertyLink soybeans.
SO, WHY SACRIFICE YIELD WITH LIBERTYLINK?
“My Roundup Ready 2 Yield soybeans averaged
65 bushels per acre, and the LibertyLink
soybeans averaged 59 bushels per acre. You
have to see it for yourself to believe it, but it
was proven through the yields. We followed
the Roundup Ready PLUS Weed Management
Solutions recommendations to a tee, and my
field was clean. My plans next year will be to
plant Roundup Ready 2 Yield soybeans.”

“My Roundup Ready 2 Yield soybean yield
averaged more than 10 bushels per acre
greater than LibertyLink soybeans. I was
very impressed that there was so much yield
advantage. I had a very clean crop and no
trouble with pigweed. I feel like you’ve got
to have a residual herbicide program to keep
your beans clean.”

*Data represents Weed Management Systems Comparison as of November 12, 2012. Genuity Roundup Ready 2 Yield seed products and Roundup Ready
PLUS Weed Management Solutions were evaluated against LibertyLink seed products and LibertyLink herbicide program using independent weed control
systems. Both systems included the use of residual herbicides. Weed control for both systems was nearly equal and likely did not impact yield differences.

“I saw a 7- to 8-bushel-per-acre average yield
advantage with my Roundup Ready 2 Yield
soybeans compared to LibertyLink soybeans.
We’ve done a very good job with pigweed
control this year, and I think it is possible to
control pigweed and have the higher yield.
The yield really showed up in Roundup Ready
2 Yield soybeans — no doubt.”

equally clean Roundup Ready 2
Yield soybean plot with Roundup
Ready PLUS Weed Management
Solutions (left) and the LibertyLink
soybean plot (right).
On-farm demonstrations evaluated
Roundup Ready 2 Yield® and the
Roundup Ready Plus® Weed Solutions
platform compared to a LibertyLink®
soybean system. The results clearly
showed that Roundup Ready 2 Yield
soybeans outperformed LibertyLink
soybeans by an average advantage
of 6 bu/a, with no real difference in
weed control or grain moisture. With
a soybean price of $13/bu, Roundup
Ready 2 Yield soybeans can deliver
up to $78/acre of extra revenue
potential compared with LibertyLink
soybeans.

Data represents Monsanto Weed Management Systems Comparisons as of November 12, 2012. Genuity® Roundup Ready 2 Yield® seed products and Roundup Ready PLUS ® Weed Management
Solutions were evaluated against LibertyLink® seed products and LibertyLink® herbicide program using independent weed control systems. Both systems included the use of residual herbicides. Weed
control for both systems was nearly equal and likely did not impact yield differences. Estimated gross revenue/acre calculated using the total yield bu/a times $13/bushel. System cost included herbicide,
seed, and application cost averaged across all locations for each respective trait.
