Adaptability is the name of the game for farmers. There is a constant need to evolve to not only meet your yield goals but also maintain your home-field advantage over tough, resistant weeds like Palmer amaranth and kochia. And as weed strength seems to be surging, farmers need more flexibility.

 In an industry that is filled with complexity and uncertainty — like economic pressure and unpredictable weather — there are few challenges soybean farmers face as consistently as resistant weeds. That's why innovation is crucial to help you get ahead of these challenges.

So what happens now?

Now is not a time for incremental change but a significant shift that substantially tilts the scales in favor of soybean farmers. And who better to bring in the next era of innovation to the industry than Bayer? Bayer has been a leader in research and development for decades and is about to unleash a soybean that will not only meet the demands of farmers but also redefine what farmers can expect: Vyconic™ soybeans.

This breakthrough technology will unlock an industry-first trait package with tolerance to five herbicides (pending EPA label approval).* This will give farmers more flexibility to grow their own way while chasing the yield goals they aspire to. Farmers have been relying on limited modes of action to help manage weeds. But every season is full of unknowns, and having limited modes of action can limit flexibility and options to make in-season adjustments to help keep their fields clean.

What makes Vyconic soybeans different?

Farmers like you will be able to unlock unparalleled weed control options* that will help transform your fields. With an industry-first trait package that includes tolerance to glyphosate, glufosinate, dicamba, 2,4-D and mesotrione, you’ll have access to a deep industry toolbox to be able to utilize the chemistries that work best for your operation. 

 With over 30 unique weed control combinations that Vyconic soybeans can enable (pending applicable regulatory approvals) vs. seven unique options in Enlist E3®*, you'll finally be able to kick resistant weeds to the curb and maximize your yield potential. Also, with the addition of mesotrione, you’ll have the residual control to help stay ahead of weeds from the start of the season. 

Hit the genetic lottery.

Farmers are feeling the pressure both from weeds and from themselves to exceed their yield goals. That’s why genetics are more important than ever. And with industry-leading genetics, Vyconic soybeans will help relieve the pressure. Through multiple weed control options, this will help to deliver a high level of protection and help farmers fill their bins.

What comes next?

With the introduction of Vyconic soybeans and its next-generation herbicide tolerance trait package, Bayer will remain a leader of agricultural innovation. With unparalleled flexibility, Vyconic soybeans will control nearly 100 more weeds than any other industry alternative.** The future for soybean farmers is here, and it has five herbicide tolerances.

The fight against resistant weeds and the complex regulations that have been giving farmers headaches for decades ends now as Bayer puts innovation into action with Vyconic soybeans. Vyconic soybeans are about to unleash the next chapter of agriculture. Discover how this game-changing soybean trait package will help take your fields into the future at bayer.com/vyconic.
