PRESERVING HERBICIDE TECHNOLOGY: Respect the Rotation™ is an initiative to elevate importance and improve grower adoption of herbicide diversity through the rotation of crops, traits and herbicide classes. Rotate crops. Crop rotation provides opportunity for herbicide diversity. Rotate herbicide-tolerant traits. Alternate herbicide-tolerant traits or use of herbicide tolerant stacks for more efficient rotation of both nonselective and selective herbicides. Rotate modes of action. Rotate modes of action (MOA) and use multiple MOA to reduce the selection pressure caused by overusing a single MOA. Respect the Rotation is a trademark of Bayer.

SOYBEAN PIRACY STATEMENT
Seeds containing the Roundup Ready® trait and the Genuity® Roundup Ready 2 Yield® trait are protected under numerous United States 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.
BENEFITS OF NEW SEED
Convenience
- High quality and high yield potential product vs. bin-run
- Reliable seed supply in many maturities
- Average loss of ~10-15% cleanout at harvest for bin-run seed
- Bin-run planting rates are generally 15% higher than new certified seed
- Dealer agronomic support before and after the sale
- Risk management benefits of Roundup Rewards® (over $600 million in benefits paid)
- Monsanto's 100% commitment to agriculture
- Our very preliminary estimate is that farmers get a $6 benefit for each $1 spent on private sector research.
STS™ is a tolerance gene that allows aggressive rates of either Synchrony® XP herbicide or Harmony® SG herbicide tank mixed with glyphosate in post, in-crop applications. This provides a simple, cost-effective weed control option for tough weeds such as lambsquarters, marestail, morning glory, ragweeds, yellow nutsedge, and many other broadleaf or sedge weeds in soybeans. Contact your local DuPont™ agriculture retailer or local sales representative for details. Always read and follow all label directions and precautions for use.
