Roundup Ready Soybean Varieties for 2012

It is vital for a producer to acknowledge all of the best management practices. One of the most important decisions a producer needs to make, is variety selection, and at Weinlaeder Seed Company, we are here to assist in that decision.

Evaluated traits that are examined in our NorthStar Genetics research trials are: Yield, maturity, iron chlorosis, white mold, phytophora, cyst nematode, brown stem rot, and lodging resistance. These factors as well as others enable us to select varieties most widely adapted to your particular growing region.
