“The Roundup Ready Xtend Crop System is a system that will really benefit soybean growers,” said Bob Thirlwall, DEKALB agronomist for southwestern Ontario. “This technology delivers an additional mode of action, enhanced weed control for tough to kill broadleaf weeds, and the potential for higher yields. I’m looking forward to sharing my experience and helping farmers in my area successfully grow DEKALB Roundup Ready 2 Xtend soybeans this year.”
