weed control.
Roundup Ready 2 Xtend Soybeans are built on proven, high™
™
n yielding Genuity® Roundup Ready 2 Yield® trait technology that
offers farmers the highest yield opportunity with more beans per
pod and more bushels per acre.
n The industry’s first soybean product with a trait for tolerance
to both dicamba and glyphosate herbicides for the broadest
weed control yet. Designed to fight glyphosate-resistant and
tough-to-control broadleaf weeds along with grassy weeds.
Built on the Roundup Ready 2 Yield Standard
®
Farmers already know and trust
Roundup Ready 2 Yield technology.
The same soybean trait that has
provided these farmers with
higher yield opportunity and profit
potential is also built into Roundup
Ready 2 Xtend Soybeans.

Data as of November 19, 2013. Includes all breeding and commercial strip trial data. All head-to-head comparisons are within +/- 0.4 day maturity. Data represents the top-performing Roundup Ready 2
Yield® products (with a minimum of 30 comparisons per product) versus competitive products with the Roundup Ready® trait.

Data represents Monsanto Weed Management Systems Comparisons as of November 20, 2013. Roundup Ready 2 Yield® products and Roundup Ready PLUS® Weed Management Solutions were evaluated
against LibertyLink® seed products and the Liberty® herbicide program using independent weed control systems. Both systems included the use of residual herbicides. Weed control for both systems
was nearly equal and did not impact yield differences.
