DuPont Pioneer to launch RR2 Xtend Technology
More soybean varieties to help farmers manage tough-to-control weeds are being released soon.
DuPont Pioneer has announced that a number of new Pioneer brand soybean varieties with Roundup Ready 2 Xtend technology will be available for 2016. Randy Minton, Business Director for the Eastern Business Unit of DuPont Pioneer tells Brownfield the technology will help growers with the growing problem of resistant weeds.
“For the opportunity to bring in a new herbicide system with Xtend and the use of dicamba over the top of soybeans is a significant advancement in our opportunity to control resistant weeds,” Minton said.
The commercial launch of the Roundup Ready 2 Xtend trait for 2016 is pending regulatory approval.
