Staying ahead of the weeds in your soybean fields is paramount to having a successful soybean crop. Having the beans that are able to work with multiple modes of action, gives you alternatives in your fight. BASF has worked with M.S. Technologies to bring Xitavo Soybeans with Enlist E3? technology to the marketplace to give Iowa farmers every advantage they can.

Marc Hoobler is the U.S. Soybean Agronomy Lead for BASF. He tells us about Xitavo? soybeans. He talks about how the Enlist E3? traits allow the beans to work with Liberty herbicide, 2 4-D, and glyphosate products. This makes it easier for farmers to round out a complete weed control plan.

If nothing else could come from the years of 2019 and 2020, it was a proving ground for the durability of new seed varieties. Hoobler says that the numbers they saw in 2019 were stellar for Xitavo?s performance, especially in Iowa.

Hoobler says it is a great time to be a soybean producer. The technologies available are mind-blowing. Hoobler says that BASF is trying to drive home the point that selecting the right traits for your fields is paramount. Having that added boost to your soybeans can make all the difference in your success. Hoobler encourages farmers to really look at the data they have on their fields and work with their retailers to formulate your strategies for the coming year.
