35 Monsanto Traits. Driving Innovation. We re working hard to develop and deliver products that make farmers more productive and more profitable. The agricultural challenges of today provide opportunities for Monsanto traits to benefit farmers and the land they farm. Upcoming trait products will significantly improve yield potential for farmers by helping protect their crops against the devastation caused by diseases, drought, pests, and weeds. And by increasing yields, we can help improve on-farm productivity allowing farmers to meet the growing global demands for food, feed and fuel. DEKALB GENUITY ROUNDUP READY 2 YIELD SOYBEANS More beans per pod, more bushels per acre. Through extensive gene mapping and advanced trait insertion technology, DEKALB Genuity Roundup Ready 2 Yield soybeans deliver outstanding yield potential. In addition to this technology, our extensive lineup of DEKALB soybeans includes varieties with resistance to Soybean Cyst Nematode (SCN), as well as products offering disease tolerance, and strong vigour, emergence and standability. The DEKALB brand team knows Roundup Ready 2 Xtend Soybeans DEKALB Roundup Ready 2 Xtend soybeans have the same leading genetics and performance that soybean growers have come to expect from the DEKALB brand. The DEKALB brand is offering Roundup Ready 2 Xtend soybean varieties ranging from RM; the most products across the greatest range in maturities. The DEKALB team has been extensively trained on this crop system and, through small-scale and field-scale testing, has the most experience with Roundup Ready 2 Xtend soybean varieties. Call 1-84-GO-DEKALB with any questions you have for our expert agronomy team. Want to learn more? Visit cleanfields.ca for information on the trait platform, the crop system and the DEKALB varieties you can grow on your farm. The Roundup Ready Xtend Crop System is what s next in weed control technology. Built upon the high yielding trait and flexible weed control of the Genuity Roundup Ready 2 Yield system paired with an added herbicide tolerance to dicamba, the Roundup Ready Xtend Crop System is a step forward in soybean technology.

Farmers who purchase corn products that are not designated as RIB Complete required to plant a refuge that is appropriate for that product. As part of the IRM plan for RIB Complete corn, experts recommend that growers incorporate crop rotations (out of corn), use of pyramided traits for below ground pests and, when appropriate, use of insecticides to minimize selection of resistant populations. Farmers should monitor their RIB Complete corn fields for targeted insect pests and contact their local Monsanto representative, retailer, or Monsanto s Technical Support line at if they observe any unusual performance problems.

38 OUTSMART YOUR WEEDS in 3 Steps Diversify your rotation. 1 Know the truth about resistance and how it develops 2 3 Spice up your mix Add another effective mode of action to the tank Diversify your crop rotation Break the pattern A common theme of resistance includes predictable patterns. Continuously growing the same crop and relying on only one mode of action for weed control can eventually lead to resistance. Maximize early-season weed removal by including a tank-mix product with your pre-plant or preemergence glyphosate application. Consider including a residual product for extended early-season weed control. Grow at least three different crops in rotation to break cycles of disease, insects and weeds. What is another effective mode of action? It s a second herbicide group that you can add to your spray tank with your glyphosate or first herbicide. Make sure both herbicide groups control the most difficult target weed. Tank mixing two or more effective modes of action will help reduce the selection pressure caused by using only one herbicide group. Weeds outsmart habits, not systems. A diverse crop rotation gives you the opportunity to use different herbicide groups, which helps prevent resistance from developing. Glyphosate-resistant giant ragweed in Ontario. Source: University of Guelph and Monsanto Canada, 2010 Here is a glyphosate-resistant giant ragweed infestation in a soybean field. This farmer continuously cropped this field with soybeans, did not use tillage and made multiple glyphosate-only applications. Here is another field where a farmer used a three-crop rotation (Roundup Ready corn, Genuity Roundup Ready 2 Yield soybeans and wheat), periodic tillage and tank mixes. Using these practices, the farmer successfully controlled glyphosate-resistant giant ragweed populations. Visit RRWMS.ca for more resistance insight and chemistry recommendations. ALWAYS READ AND FOLLOW PESTICIDE LABEL DIRECTIONS. Roundup Ready technology contains genes that confer tolerance to glyphosate, an active ingredient in Roundup brand agricultural herbicides. Agricultural herbicides containing glyphosate will kill crops that are not tolerant to glyphosate. Tank mixtures: The applicable labeling for each product must be in the possession of the user at the time of application. Follow applicable use instructions, including application rates, precautions and restrictions of each product used in the tank mixture.

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. SOYBEAN A rating of the plant survival and health for Phytophthora Root Rot PRR RESISTANCE GENE Rps 1c denotes resistance to races 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 15, 17, 21, 23, 24, 26, 28, 29, 30, 32, 34, 36 and 38 Rps 1k denotes resistance to races 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15, 17, 18, 21, 22, 23, 24, 26, 27, 36, 37 and 38 Rps 3a denotes resistances to races 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 11, 13, 14, 16, 18, 23, 25, 28, 29, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35 and 39 SOYBEAN CYST NEMATODE RESISTANCE Susc = Susceptible R1 = Resistant to Race 1 SCN R3 = Resistant to Race 3 SCN MR3 = Moderately resistant to Race 3 Monsanto Company is a member of Excellence Through Stewardship (ETS).

ALWAYS READ AND FOLLOW PESTICIDE LABEL DIRECTIONS. Individual results may vary, and performance may vary from location to location and from year to year. This result may not be an indicator of results you may obtain as local growing, soil and weather conditions may vary. Growers should evaluate data from multiple locations and years whenever possible. Roundup Ready technology contains genes that confer tolerance to glyphosate, an active ingredient in Roundup brand agricultural herbicides. Roundup Ready 2 Xtend soybeans contain genes that confer tolerance to glyphosate, an active ingredient in Roundup brand agricultural herbicides, and dicamba, the active ingredient in XtendiMax herbicide with VaporGrip Technology. Agricultural herbicides containing glyphosate will kill crops that are not tolerant to glyphosate, and those containing dicamba will kill crops that are not tolerant to dicamba.

44 DEKALB PRO The term BIG DATA gets tossed around a lot these days. Your DEKALB Agronomist knows how to put BIG DATA to work on your farm. DEKALB Agronomists have been collecting and analyzing massive amounts of plot data for the better part of a decade. We developed the DEKALB PRO software tool to allow us to run variety comparisons against our own canola, corn and soybean products as well as those of our competitors. DEKALB PRO allows us to find and visualize trends like geographical strengths, soil type preferences, and optimal populations, planting dates and tillage types. Your DEKALB Agronomist can use this tool to mine the hundreds of thousands of data points DEKALB PRO holds to provide exclusive recommendations for your farm. The end result is a prescriptive recommendation for a specific hybrid or variety for your individual fields or farm. See what DEKALB PRO can do for your farm Call 1-84-GO-DEKALB to book an appointment with your regional DEKALB Agronomist today. On the laptop screen at the top of the page, you see five DEKALB corn hybrids with similar relative maturities and can compare how they perform under the specific conditions: clay-loam soil, early-to-mid planting timing, zero or conservation tillage in a mid-range yield environment. Looking at these yield and moisture graphics your DEKALB Agronomist can better help you select the right hybrid for your field.
