2 Here s to farmers. The ones whose DNA runs in rows, the ones who value pinky swears as much as handshakes, and the ones who never wanted to be anything but. Here s to farmers. The ones who don t believe in man s work, the ones who ve never heard of an 8-hour workday, and the ones who don t believe the week ends. Here s to farmers. The ones who stand as tall as their fields, wipe the dedication from their brow, and whose hearts span beyond their acreage. Here s to farmers who never stop growing. #neverstopgrowing

And now growers have a new option with Pioneer brand soybeans with Roundup Ready 2 Xtend technology. Performance and service New Pioneer brand soybeans with Roundup Ready 2 Xtend technology have been proven in local trials to ensure they provide the yield and agronomics that growers need. Only DuPont Pioneer can deliver the total package of highperforming genetics, dedicated service and agronomic support and superior weed control options. Tips for success Here are 3 ideas to keep in mind when growing Pioneer brand Roundup Ready 2 Xtend soybeans: 1 Take care with dicamba Better weed control options DuPont Crop Protection is pleased to introduce new DuPont FeXapan herbicide plus VaporGrip Technology to the market. Incorporating this low-volatile dicamba into your weed management system on Roundup Ready 2 Xtend soybeans will help manage glyphosate-resistant weeds. And when you use a combination of FeXapan plus VaporGrip Technology plus DuPont Crop Protection s portfolio of soybean herbicides, you get better control of glyphosate-resistant weeds and other weeds that are hard to kill with a glyphosate-only strategy. You also help manage the threat of herbicide resistance. This strong lineup includes products such as DuPont Assure II, Canopy PRO, Classic, Freestyle, Guardian and Guardian Plus II herbicides. For growers that are concerned about white mould impacting their soybean crop, also consider DuPont Acapela fungicide. P31T52X P ** L 1c BA ** IB P33T19X P ** M 1k BA 5 4 ** 8 ** 7 ** IB Use only a reduced volatility product such as DuPont FeXapan plus VaporGrip Technology. Review and implement the requirements for dicamba stewardship shown on the label. 2 Layer modes of action *For complete definitions and disclaimers related to product descriptions, characteristics ratings and disease ratings, and all other information contained herein, see page OUTSTANDING 1 POOR INSUFFICIENT DATA Pioneer brand soybean varieties treated with Cruiser Maxx Vibrance Beans seed treatment (thiamethoxam) are Class 12 pesticides under Ontario Regulation 63/09 of the Pesticides Act. DuPont Pioneer offers a broad lineup of soybean varieties that are not Class 12 pesticides available for sale in all maturities. For more information, please talk with your Pioneer sales representative. Use combinations of different herbicide groups in each pass within the same year. For glyphosateresistant weeds, herbicide programs will require an additional mode of action with dicamba for effective resistance management. 3 Herbicide Resistance Management Strategy Manage weeds today while avoiding the development of resistance tomorrow. As with all crop protection products, read and follow label instructions carefully. 26 SOYBEANS

Use the CRM rating to compare Pioneer brand products with competitive hybrids of a similar maturity and harvest moisture. CRM ratings, and harvest moistures, for products within a family may vary slightly, depending upon the level of insect (ECB and CRW) infestation. Conventional and straight hybrids with the RR2 gene within a family will usually be 1-2 CRMs earlier than indicated, when insect infestations are moderate to heavy. One CRM difference is about ¹/² point of moisture difference at harvest. 4 PHYSIOLOGICAL CRM: Measures differences in maturity to zero milkline stage. To help decide if a new product fits your area s growing season, compare its physiological CRM to a corn product that you plant or one that is successfully used in your area. 5 STRESS EMERGENCE: All corn products are expected to establish normal stands under average soil conditions. Stress emergence is a measure of the genetic ability or potential to emerge 46 FOOT CORN FOOT in the stressful environmental conditions of cold, wet soils or short periods of severe low temperatures, relative to other Pioneer brand hybrids. Ratings of 7-9 indicate very good potential to establish normal stands under such conditions; a rating of 5-6 indicates average potential to establish normal stands under moderate stress conditions; and ratings of 1-4 indicate the hybrid has below average potential to establish normal stands under stress and should not be used if severe cold conditions are expected immediately after planting. Stress emergence is not a rating for seedling disease susceptibility, early growth or speed of emergence. 6 DROUGHT TOLERANCE: Drought tolerance is a complex trait, determined by a platform s ability to maintain yield in limited-moisture environments. A higher score indicates the potential for higher yields vs. other platforms of similarmaturity in limited-moisture environments. 7 GRAIN DRYDOWN: Compares corn products of a similar maturity for rate of kernel moisture loss after grain physiological maturity (zero kernel milkline). A lower score indicates slower drydown, possibly offering a wider opportunity for high-moisture grain harvest. 8 TEST WEIGHT: Higher score indicates heavier test weight. 9 PLANT HEIGHT: 9 = Very Tall; 1 = Short. 10 MID-SEASON BRITTLE STALK: Ratings determined by frequency and severity of stalk snappage at lower to middle stalk internodes from conditions usually favoured by rapid or optimum growth. Relative response of products can be affected by planting date, stage of growth, rate of growth, wind severity and other variables. Scores derived from both natural observations and artificial evaluation immediately prior to tasseling. NOTE: Scores do not reflect snappage enhanced by or due to herbicide interaction. The use of growth regulator herbicides such as 2,4-D and dicamba can increase the brittle snap potential of corn products. Products with lower brittle stalk ratings will require more caution and have a higher risk associated with the use of growth regulator herbicides. Early application, proper rates and application methods, along with both hybrid and herbicide selection can help reduce this risk. BRITTLE STALK PRECAUTION: In areas with higher potential for brittle stalk breakage, growers must balance the risk of planting products with brittle stalk ratings of less than 4 against the overall performance of more resistant products with higher ratings. All products have a period of susceptibility to brittle stalk. Products with below average ratings may have a longer period of susceptibility, or may experience more severe breakage relative to hybrids with higher scores during period of susceptibility. DISEASE & PEST RESISTANCE FOOT: DISEASE PRECAUTION: Growers should balance corn product yield potential, maturity and cultural practice selection against their anticipated risk of a specific disease and need for resistance. In high disease-risk conditions, consider planting products with at least moderate resistance ratings of 4 or higher to help reduce risk. When susceptible products with disease ratings of 1 to 3 are planted in conditions of high disease pressure, the grower assumes a higher level of risk. If conditions are severe, even products rated as resistant can be adversely affected. Independent of yield reduction, diseases can predispose plants to secondary diseases such as stalk rots. This requires individual field and product monitoring for stalk stability and timely harvest when warranted. DISEASE & PEST RATINGS: 6-7 = Resistant; 4-5 = Moderately Resistant; 1-3 = Susceptible; Blank = Insufficient Data. 11 NORTHERN LEAF BLIGHT CAUTION: In conditions where northern leaf blight (NLB) risk is high, growers should consider planting only products with at least moderate NLB resistance ratings of 4 or higher. 12 FOLIAR FUNGICIDE RESPONSE - (NLB): Probability of positive yield response to foliar fungicide applications when significant levels of Northern leaf blight (NLB) leaf disease is present. HP - High Probability; MP Moderate Probability; LP Low Probability. Probabilities based upon product disease scores. Because of the unlimited number of growing environments, cropping practices, and foliar fungicide active ingredients combinations possible, DuPont Pioneer makes no warranty regarding this foliar fungicide crop response information. 13 GIBBERELLA EAR ROT CAUTION: Ratings based upon visual symptoms at harvest. If Gibberella ear rot has caused significant damage in the past, growers should consider planting only products with at least moderate Gibberella ear rot ratings of 5 or higher. 14 GREY LEAF SPOT PRECAUTION: Avoid planting products with a lower grey leaf spot (GLS) rating in continuous corn fields that have a history of GLS infection, unless tillage operations that bury significant amounts of corn residue and inoculum are practiced. 15 SILAGE CRM (Comparative Relative Maturity): With no industry standard for silage maturity, comparing maturity and harvest moisture among corn-for- silage hybrids is difficult. DuPont Pioneer silage CRM ratings provide a relative comparison among Pioneer hybrids of rates at which hybrids reach harvestable whole-plant moistures. It is on the same scale as the CRM rating provided for grain-corn hybrids and does not represent actual days from planting or emergence to harvest moisture or half milkline. 16 SILAGE YIELD: Based on tons/acre (adjusted to 30% dry matter) from multi-year comparison of products within a maturity range not exceeding 5 silage CRM units. 17 STARCH AND SUGAR, %: Percent starch and soluble sugars (DM basis) in the whole-plant sample predicted by NIRS. 18 WHOLE-PLANT DIGESTIBILITY: Based on estimated 24-hour in vitro whole-plant digestibility percentage (dry matter basis), as predicted by Near Infrared Reflectance Spectroscopy (NIRS). 19 FIBRE DIGESTIBILITY: Based on 24-hour enzymatic estimate of percent degradable neutral detergent fibre (NDF) as a percent of total NDF in whole-plant sample, predicted by NIRS. 20 SILAGE CRUDE PROTEIN: Based on the amount of crude protein in the whole plant, predicted by NIRS. 21 MILK OR BEEF PER ACRE: 9 = Outstanding; 1 = Poor. Based on University of Wisconsin MILK2006 utilizing silage yield, nutrient content and digestibility. 22 MILK OR BEEF PER TON: 9 = Outstanding; 1 = Poor. Based on University of Wisconsin MILK2006 utilizing silage yield, nutrient content and digestibility. HERBICIDE-PRODUCT MANAGEMENT GUIDE: Under certain environmental conditions any corn product can be injured by any herbicide. This guide can assist in selecting and managing herbicide programs. It is based on replicated research trials and field observations. See your Pioneer sales representative or herbicide representative regarding herbicide-product combinations that require careful management. ADEQUATE TOLERANCE. With the particular hybrid, available research and/or field observations suggest this herbicide is unlikely to result in material crop injury under normal circumstances. REQUIRES CAREFUL MANAGEMENT. With this particular hybrid, available research and or field observations suggest this herbicide may exhibit crop injury in challenging environments such as heavy rainfall during seed germination or seedling emergence, sandy soils, soils low in organic matter, high ph soils, or during periods of excessively cold, hot, dry or wet weather. University research indicates products within a herbicide class may vary in their degree of crop selectivity. The potential for herbicide interaction may also be impacted by the labeled herbicide rate used and the method or timing of application. CROP RESPONSE WARNING. With this hybrid in field observations and/or research, crop injury has occurred with this herbicide. INSUFFICIENT DATA. Additional testing is needed to evaluate this hybrid. 23 AMIDE (Chloroacetamide and Others) tested was Harness (registered in the United States). This family also includes Dual II Magnum, Axiom, DuPont Battalion, Frontier and others in pre-packaged mixes. 24 BENZOIC ACID (Synthetic Auxins) tested was Banvel. The Phenoxy family includes 2,4-D. The rating represents these products and others in pre-packaged mixes. Products may exhibit greater early season stalk breakage when Benzoic Acid or Phenoxy herbicides are applied prior to a significant windstorm. 25 ISOXAZOLE (4-HPPD Inhibitors) tested was Balance Pro (registered in the United States; registered under the brand name Converge in Canada). The herbicide prevents the biosynthesis of a photosynthetic pigment (carotenoid). The carotenoid pigment prevents the degradation of chlorophyll. Susceptible plant will turn white and chlorotic. 26 SU (sulfonylureas, ALS Inhibitors) tested was Option, unsafened DuPont Basis Gold, Resolve or DuPont Steadfast (registered in the United States). This family also includes DuPont Accent, Elim, and others in pre-packaged mixes. A similar family called sulfonanilides includes Fieldstar. CAUTION: Some sulfonylurea products have label restrictions on products with maturity shorter than 2700 CHU. Review the herbicide label before applying any sulfonylurea product to products less than 2700 CHU.

This technology allows for post-emergent applications of Roundup without crop injury or stress (see herbicide label). Labelled Roundup herbicide should only be used over the top of those hybrids and varieties that carry the Roundup Ready designation. Hybrids with the CLEARFIELD trait (CL) are tolerant to labelled rates of Tensile or Odyssey herbicides. This technology allows for post-emergent applications of these herbicides without crop injury or stress (see herbicide label). Labelled herbicides should only be used over the top of those hybrids and varieties that contain the CLEARFIELD trait. Genuity and Roundup Ready are trademarks trademarks used with permission of the company Monsanto. CLEARFIELD is a registered trademark of BASF. (-) = Variety does not contain a herbicide resistant gene. LL Contains the LibertyLink gene for resistance to Liberty herbicide. Liberty, LibertyLink and the Water Droplet Design are trademarks of Bayer. 2 SCN RESISTANCE SOURCE: There are three sources of genetic resistance to SCN currently deployed in the marketplace: PI88788; PI (also known as Peking); and PI (also known as Hartwig); R = Resistant 3 RELATIVE MATURITY: Shows the relative maturity group rating, with the first digit representing the general maturity group, and the second digit showing relative maturity within the group on a scale of 0 to 9, with 0 early and 9 late. For example, a soybean variety with a relative maturity rating of 17 would be a mid-late variety in Group I maturity. 4 FIELD EMERGENCE: Rating based on speed and strength of emergence in sub-optimal temperatures. 7-9 = Excellent; 4-6 = Average. 5 HYPOCOTYL LENGTH: Ratings based on relative length of hypocotyls, which is the portion of the seedling between the cotyledons and the root. root. S = Short; M = Medium; L = Long. 6 PHYTOPHTHORA RESISTANCE GENE: (-) = No specific gene for resistance. 1a = Provides resistance to races 1-2, 10-11, 13-18, 24. 1c = Provides resistance to races 1-3, 6-11, 13, 15, 17, 21, 23, 24, 26, 28-30, 32, 34, 36. 1k = Provides resistance to races 1-11, 13-15, 17, 18, 21-24, 26, 36, = Provides resistance to races 1-4, 10, 12, 14-16, 18-21, 25, 28, PHYTOPHTHORA FIELD TOLERANCE: Varieties with high tolerance scores have demonstrated an ability to thrive in the presence of Phytophthora races to which they lack specific resistance. In some varieties, tolerance is expressed only after the early seedling growth stage, making such varieties susceptible to damping off during emergence and early seed growth. 2 MATURITY: 5 = Medium-Early; 6 = Medium. 3 SCLEROTINIA: 9 = Highly Resistant; 5 = Moderately Resistant; 1 = Susceptible. 4 BLACKLEG: R = Resistant; MR = Moderately Resistant. 5 BLACKLEG: 9 = Resistant, 1 = Susceptible. 6 FUSARIUM WILT: R = Resistant. 7 EARLY GROWTH: 9 = Excellent, 1 = Poor. Recorded when plants are at 4-6 leaf stage. Rating based on relative plant health and leaf size. 8 GREEN SEED CONTENT: 9 = Very low count (desired); 1 = Very high count. 9 STRAIGHT CUT: E = Excellent, V = Very Good, G = Good, A = Average. 10 PLANT HEIGHT: 9 = Tall; 1 = Short (desired). 8 SOYBEAN CYST NEMATODE [SCN]: Resistance to each of the major SCN races is scored on a 1-9 scale. 9 = Excellent resistance; 8-7 = Very good resistance; 4 = Below average resistance; 3-2 = Susceptible; 1 = Highly susceptible; to the specific race indicated. 9 APHID ANTIBIOSIS: A type of resistance that measures the plant s ability to naturally reduce the rate of growth, survival and reproduction of soybean aphids on soybean plants. Antibiosis is measured by comparing the rate of aphid reproduction on different varieties. Since no varieties currently on the market offer complete resistance to aphids, growers should use these antibiosis ratings as a pest management tool (not a variety selection tool) to help determine field scouting and insecticide application priorities. AA = above average; A = average antibiosis ratings; BA = below average antibiosis rating. For example, varieties with exceptional ratings display much lower aphid reproduction compared to varieties with average and below average ratings. 10 WHITE MOULD: Scores based on Pioneer research observations of comparative white mould tolerance among various soybean varieties across multiple locations and years. All varieties are capable of developing white mould symptoms under severe infestations. To our knowledge, there are no totally resistant varieties in the industry. However, differences exist in the ability of varieties to tolerate white mould (i.e., the rate at which the infection develops and the extent of damage it causes). These scores reflect those differences. 11 CANOPY WIDTH: 9 = Extremely bushy; 1 = Very narrow. 12 ANTI-SHATTERING: 9 = Excellent tolerance to shattering; 1 = Poor tolerance to shattering. 13 PLANT HEIGHT FOR MATURITY: 9 = Tall; 1 = Short. 14 PER CENT PROTEIN AT 13% MOISTURE: Compare data within table only. Values can vary widely by growing season and region. 15 PER CENT OIL AT 13% MOISTURE: Compare data within table only. Values can vary widely by growing season and region. 16 HILA COLOUR: BL = Black; BR = Brown; G = Grey; IB = Imperfect black; TN = Tan; BF = Buff; Y = Yellow (Clear). 17 SEED SIZE RANGE: Expressed in seeds per pound under normal growing conditions. Range is calculated over multiple years and locations. Since seed size may vary by growing season and region, check the seeds/pound information printed on the bag for actual seed count. INOCULANT FOOT IMPORTANT: Information and ratings are based on relative comparisons with other Sila-Bac brand inoculants within each specific crop, not competitive products. Information and ratings are assigned by DuPont Pioneer Forage Additive Research, based on average performance across area of use under normal conditions, over a wide range of both environment and management conditions, and may not predict future results. Product responses are variable and subject to any number of environmental and management conditions. Please use this information as only part of your product positioning decision. Refer to or contact a Pioneer sales representative for the latest and most complete listing of traits and scores for each Sila-Bac brand product. FERMENTATION: Rate and extent of ph decline and the composition of fermentation acids occurring in silage. BUNKLIFE: Relative heat development compared to ambient temperature.
