Asgrow brand Roundup Ready 2 Xtend soybeans debut on farm

This month, soybean farmers will receive the new Asgrow brand Roundup Ready 2 Xtend soybeans, which provide the highest resistance packages against nematodes and Phytophthora root rot.

“Today represents an exciting milestone for the Asgrow brand and farmers,” Dipal Chaudhari, Asgrow brand manager, said. “This new technology provides the leading genetics and yield performance farmers have come to expect from the Asgrow brand.”

The Asgrow brand has the largest selection, with 25 products in all eight maturity groups of Roundup Ready 2 Xtend soybean products for 2016.

Brian Mayer is one of the soybean growers who received his soybeans already this month and plans to plant AG42X6 brand in the spring.

“I have been planting Asgrow beans for about 20 years, and they have performed very well on our farm," Mayer said. "I’m planting Asgrow brand Roundup Ready 2 Xtend soybeans this year to get the latest genetics they have and the best yield possible from our ground.”

Asgrow is offering the Asgrow Roundup Ready Xtend Soybeans at an introductory discount of $5 per unit and once over the top dicamba is approved, the Crop System will have another important tool for managing weeds.
