Vyconic™ Soybeans
Farmers need to control as many things on their operations as possible to ensure optimized yields. They want to get the best performance they can on their operation, but they're also trying to control weeds that rob soybeans of critical nutrients, limiting their potential. Herbicide resistance means weeds continue to become more and more challenging. This means farmers need choice and flexibility.
More crop protection solutions than ever are available today. And more soybean seed variety than ever means that there are plenty of options for pairing a high-yielding soybean seed with a compatible crop protection program that addresses specific needs.
Farming rarely provides simple solutions. Vyconic™ Soybeans offer not only an industry-first, unprecedented tolerance to five herbicides: glyphosate, glufosinate, dicamba, 2,4-D, and mesotrione.
The future of flexible soy production will depend on high-yielding seeds that can also produce alongside the broadest suite of weed management options ever1. Vyconic™ Soybeans are anticipated to launch in the United States and Canada by the 2027 planting season.
Vyconic™ allows farmers to choose from five herbicide options, which helps farmers flexibly manage weed resistance. This flexibility is crucial as it enables farmers to adapt their weed management strategies based on the specific challenges they face each growing season.
Alongside its herbicide tolerances, Vyconic™ trait technology is paired with varieties developed to deliver high yields. This focus on performance ensures that farmers can maximize their return on investment while effectively controlling weeds.
Vyconic™ soybeans offer options for both pre-emergence and post-emergence weed control. This adaptability is essential for responding to varying weather, weed conditions, and growth patterns throughout the season.
Vyconic™ trait technology is one of the 10 blockbusters launching within the next 10 years, and it’s one of over a dozen soybean traits planned within the next decade, creating a path to help farmers manage today’s – and tomorrow’s – biggest challenges.
