XtendFlex® soybeans are the industry’s first triple-stacked soybean trait with tolerance to dicamba, glyphosate and now glufosinate herbicides.* This breakthrough technology will give farmers flexibility during application. With tolerance to three different herbicides, farmers gain greater application flexibility — pre-emergence or postemergence — in managing tough-to-control weeds, including waterhemp, Palmer amaranth and marestail. The XtendFlex® soybean trait is built on the proven high-yielding Roundup Ready 2 Xtend® technology that farmers know and trust.

Roundup Ready 2 Xtend® soybeans provide tolerance to both dicamba and glyphosate herbicides with the high-yielding performance farmers across the country have come to expect. • Roundup Ready 2 Xtend® soybeans yielded a 3.5 bu/A advantage1 on average vs. Enlist E3® soybeans. 112020 Farmer Managed Soybean System Trials (57 locations in 2020 reporting data located with 5-IA, 4-IL, 8-IN, 4-KS, 1-KY, 3-MI, 9-MN, 2-MO, 4-ND, 5-NE, 4-OH, 2-PA, 6-SD).

Agricultural herbicides containing glyphosate will kill crops that are not tolerant to glyphosate. Performance may vary from location to location and from year to year, as local growing, soil and weather conditions may vary. Growers should evaluate data from multiple locations and years whenever possible and should consider the impacts of these conditions on the grower’s fields.

The last patent on the original Roundup Ready® soybean trait expired a few years ago and U.S. farmers may legally plant saved seed from some varieties of soybean containing the Roundup Ready® soybean trait. However, it is important that you check with your seed supplier to determine if a specific Roundup Ready® soybean variety is covered by other intellectual property rights, and if so, the policy for saving seed of that variety.
