Revolutionizing Weed Control with Triple Herbicide Tolerance

About XtendFlex®

XtendFlex® soybeans are an advanced soybean trait technology developed by Bayer, offering tolerance to three herbicides: dicamba, glyphosate, and glufosinate. This triple-stacked trait provides farmers with enhanced flexibility and options for effective weed management, particularly against challenging weeds like waterhemp, Palmer amaranth, and marestail.

Key Features of XtendFlex® Soybeans:

  • Triple Herbicide Tolerance: XtendFlex® soybeans are the industry’s first to combine tolerance to dicamba, glyphosate, and glufosinate, allowing for more versatile and effective herbicide application strategies.
  • Proven Yield Advantage: The 2024 XtendFlex® soybean launch class demonstrated a 2.7 bushel per acre advantage over Enlist E3® soybeans, based on 9,759 head-to-head comparisons in Bayer’s 2023 breeding and market development trials across major soybean-growing regions.
  • Elite Genetics: Built on the proven performance of Roundup Ready 2 Xtend® technology, XtendFlex® soybeans offer high-yield potential and robust agronomic characteristics to withstand adverse growing conditions.
  • Enhanced Weed Management Flexibility: The addition of glufosinate tolerance provides farmers with more herbicide options to tailor weed control programs to their specific challenges, improving overall field cleanliness and crop health.

Benefits for Farmers:

  • Improved Weed Control: The triple herbicide tolerance allows for the use of multiple herbicide modes of action, which is crucial for managing herbicide-resistant weed populations and reducing weed pressure throughout the growing season.
  • Yield Stability and Potential: Farmers can achieve higher and more consistent yields due to the combination of elite genetics and effective weed management options provided by XtendFlex® soybeans.
  • Application Flexibility: The tolerance to three herbicides offers greater flexibility in application timing and choices, enabling farmers to adapt their weed management strategies to varying field conditions and environmental factors.
