333 XF 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).

A MUST PLANT FOR 2023, this hybrid does it all. A+ ratings for yield, drydown, grain quality, and overall plant agronomics. Countless wins in 3rd party testing and customer side by sides.

Tremendous in high yield corn environments, but dependable and consistent under stress. Medium statured plants with great season-long standability.

Exciting NEW full season genetics with BIG BUSHEL potential. Has the "EBBERTS LOOK" with a girthy ear type, thick deep kernels, heavy test weight, and great agronomics. Very nice late season plant health and intactness. Order early, limited volumes for 2023.

MANAGEMENT & POSITIONING

MANAGEMENT & POSITIONING

Bred for Ohio and Indiana having the perfect balance of stress tolerance and top end yield.

Handles all soil types. Can use at moderate pops on tougher soil, or push the pops on the better dirt. Good disease tolerance, but will show good yield response to foliar fungicides. If you want some early corn, this is the one!

Position on all soils and yield environments.

Long ear type with lots of flex. Excellent emergence for early planting. Defensive type hybrid that holds yield under stress.

New Yield King for Ebberts early season lineup! Ear will FLEX length in lower pops, but also has HUGE girthy ear type with 18-22 kernel rows. Deep kernels. Impressive toughness with excellent stress, and drought tolerance! This hybrid can handle all environments.

CORN HYBRIDS

6883 DGVT2P RIB
