When you choose Roundup Ready hybrids, you know you can count on the superior weed control of the Roundup Ready system. Regardless of weather conditions or growing season, your prospects of unlocking genetic potential are maximized when you use Genuity™ Roundup Ready® Canola hybrids.
Roundup Ready Hybrids Allow for Earlier Seeding
Independent research† confirms that early seeding delivers the highest probability of higher yields. Genuity™ Roundup Ready® Canola allows you to spray before or immediately after crop immergence, from the zero to six-leaf stage. In fact, Canola Council data clearly shows that early seeding impacts yield from 5% to 12% on average.
Roundup Ready Hybrids Give you a Wide In-Crop Application Window
With Genuity™ Roundup Ready® Canola, you have the flexibility to spray at the first cotyledon. That’s important because early emerging weeds do more damage to yield potential than later ones. While early weed control is important to yield, with Genuity™ Roundup Ready® Canola, it’s easy to follow up with an economical second application to control later weed flushes as well as to reduce dockage.
Superior Control of Grassy Weeds
Growers who choose the superior weed control†† of the Genuity™ Roundup Ready® Canola system, also set the stage for reduced weed pressure and increased yields for both this season and next. In-crop spraying with Roundup WeatherMAX® herbicide provides better and more consistent control of a broader spectrum of weeds, including grassy weeds, than available in any other canola system.
