The level of sophistication of modern technology is helping farmers to maximize yield. Wes Hayes, Bayer Crop Science North America Soybean Product Manager, shares about their Roundup Ready Xtend Crop System.
Hayes… “The Roundup Ready Xtend Crop System, featuring XtendFlex soybeans, offers triple tolerance to dicamba, glyphosate and glufosinate, which control more weeds than any other soybean system out there. Farmers really want what’s best for their operation, looking at two things: yield and weed control. Bayer was the first company to launch a trait with tolerance to dicamba, glufosinate, and glyphosate, and we’re going to continues to offer farmers more choices as we move into the future, look ahead at what’s next for our customers.”
Hayes says the system is backed by unprecedented investments in research and development.
Hayes… “It’s the yield from the genetics in the Xtend Flex soybeans, as well as the outstanding weed control that they can find with the system. With those options around the Xtend crop system, we can fight tough to control weeds and farmers can get the most out of their operations. The genetics and the crop protection system is backed by the largest research and development pipeline in the industry. We have tons of scientists spending every day waking up thinking about how to bring that type of innovation to farmers, more yield and systems to work effectively against tough to control weeds like waterhemp, palmer amaranth, marestail and more.”
One more example of agricultural technology pushing the industry forward.
