A modern agriculture company eagerly awaits reactions concerning a popular crop system.

?With the launch of the Roundup Ready Xtend Crop System this year, the vast majority of growers had tremendous success, in terms of weed control, by having the Dicamba option,? Rubischko said. ?I think many are looking forward to harvest to see what the genetics can provide for Roundup Xtend soybeans as well.?
