3 Introducing two NEW ULTRA-EARLY DEKALB Roundup Ready 2 XTEND Soybean Varieties The newest and earliest DEKALB Roundup Ready 2 Xtend soybeans to come from the DEKALB Breeding Program. These varieties were bred and tested for you in Western Canada. DKB RM 2175 CHU Excellent White Mould tolerance Very good field tolerance to Phytophthora Root Rot (Rps 1c resistance gene) and Brown Stem Rot Branchy, medium height with excellent standability Similar to 22-60RY with more height Ultra-early variety which should be placed in appropriate maturity zone NEW ROUNDUP READY XTEND CROP SYSTEM DKB RM 2275 CHU Bushy and branches well, medium height variety with excellent standability Good defensive disease package with resistance to Soybean Cyst Nematode (R3), very good field tolerance to Phytophthora Root Rot (Rps 1c&k resistance gene), and excellent tolerance to White Mould Broader acre fit than 22-60RY An excellent Roundup Ready 2 Xtend variety in early maturity zones NEW SOYBEAN NOTE: For all agronomic ratings, 1=Excellent, 9=Poor. For more information on Phytophthora Root Rot resistance genes and races, go to page 13. Roundup Ready 2 Xtend soybeans combine the proven yield potential of the Genuity Roundup Ready 2 Yield soybean trait, along with tolerance to both dicamba and glyphosate. The residual activity of dicamba can help reduce early weed competition and improve late-season control, supporting higher yield potential and cleaner fields at harvest. Combined with the newest genetics from DEKALB, you can get the variety that best suits the agronomic needs of your farm. 3

5 Roundup Ready Xtend Crop System IT S THE SYSTEM THAT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE ROUNDUP READY 2 XTEND SOYBEANS Roundup Ready 2 Xtend soybeans combine the proven yield potential of the Genuity Roundup Ready 2 Yield soybean trait, along with tolerance to both dicamba and glyphosate. TWO CHEMISTRY OPTIONS The Roundup Ready Xtend Crop System gives you the choice of two enhanced chemistry options: Roundup Xtend herbicide with VaporGrip Technology (Group 4 and 9): a pre-mix of our lowvolatility dicamba formulation and glyphosate. XtendiMax herbicide with VaporGrip Technology (Group 4): a low-volatility dicamba formulation. These herbicides also give you up to 14 days of residual activity on certain small-seeded broadleaf weeds to keep fields clean longer. + + Dc - H + DCH Dc - DCH H + Dc - H + Older dicamba formulations Dc - Dc - Dc - H + H + H + H + Dc - With VaporGrip Technology VAPORGRIP TECHNOLOGY Our liquid dicamba formulation features VaporGrip Technology. In older dicamba formulations, dicamba ions combine with free hydrogen ions to form volatile dicamba acid. VaporGrip Technology prevents dicamba ions from combining with hydrogen ions, significantly reducing volatility. ROUNDUP READY XTEND CROP SYSTEM SOYBEAN Application Requirements 10 cm 50cm 5 to 15 km/h AMS min.10 GPA NOZZLES Use nozzles and operating pressures that produce Extremely Coarse (XC) to Ultra Coarse (UC) droplets to minimize drift WEED HEIGHT Spray weeds less than 10 cm tall LABEL BUFFER Maintain the required label buffer to protect sensitive areas GROUND SPEEDS Make sure ground speed is less than 25 km/h TRIPLE RINSE Use triple rinse tank clean-out procedure BOOM HEIGHT Maintain boom height 50 cm above crop canopy to reduce the risk of drift WIND SPEED Optimal wind speeds for application typically occur between 5 and 15 km/h AMMONIUM SULFATE Ammonium sulfate and ammoniumbased additives are restricted in applications WATER VOLUME Minimum carrier volume is 10 GPA ALWAYS READ AND FOLLOW PESTICIDE LABEL DIRECTIONS. Proper herbicide application is crucial. Further information for spraying on target and minimizing drift can be found at: 5

12 OUTSMART WEEDS IN 3 STEPs Managing resistance isn t about using less glyphosate; it s about using herbicides effectively. Here s how: Mixtures work best. Tank mixes have been shown to be more effective than alternating single-mode applications (AKA rotating herbicides) when it comes to managing herbicide resistance Tank mix at least once per growing season. Add another effective mode of action to the tank with glyphosate. Group 1 and 2 herbicides are considered high risk, as many weed species are resistant to these herbicides. Using them can put more pressure on glyphosate to control tough weeds such as kochia, wild oats and cleavers. Don t rely solely on glyphosate or any one mode of action to control them. 1 about resistance and how it develops Know the truth Spice up your mix Add another effective mode of action to the tank Diversify Your Crop Rotation 2 Take advantage of pre-seed options. It s your easiest opportunity to include a tank mix in your herbicide program million Roundup Equivalent Litres were applied in the spring of Of those applications, 75.8% is applied alone, 2 which puts farmers at risk for selecting for resistance. 3 Grow three or more different crops in your rotation. It can help break cycles of disease, insects and weeds and give you more herbicide options. Weeds outsmart habits, not systems. Herbicide-tolerant crops don t cause resistance. The way we use them can. Visit MonsantoCMS.ca for more resistance insight and chemistry recommendations. 1 Beckie and Reboud, Selecting for Weed Resistance: Herbicide Rotation and Mixture.

13 References: CORN GR/SU/IS The hybrid/herbicide combination can result in plant height reduction, stand loss and suspected yield loss under very adverse environmental conditions, high rates or extreme soil ph levels or organic content. Use of drop nozzle spraying for post-emergence herbicides or planting in warm soils for incorporated herbicides may avoid interactions. Consult your DEKALB dealer for additional information. 1 CORN RELATIVE MATURITY Relative maturity (RM) can be used to compare product s maturity to existing products in the DEKALB lineup. The relative maturity of a hybrid is assessed by comparing the harvest maturity to established products with known RM ratings. Relative maturity assignments are based on four main components: Harvest moisture, Growing Degree Units (GDUs) to mid pollination (flowering), test weight, and plant health. 2 TARGET POPULATION Final plant population in thousands suggestions are based on medium to high yield environment. In fields with lower yield potential consider targeting slightly lower population. Adjust planting rate to suit individual field conditions. 3 HERBICIDE SAFETY Ratings are based on observations and research using herbicides at and above labeled rates to simulate extreme environmental conditions, misapplication and adverse soil ph or organic content. Either no adverse effects from the hybrid/herbicide combination were noted or only slight damage could be noted under adverse conditions or herbicide application at higher than label rates.
