Extended early season

control in soybeans.

Valtera has shown to boost yield by up to 6.7 bushels/acre.*Eliminating early weed pressure is the secret to better soybeans. Adding Valtera herbicide to your burndown will give IP and Roundup Ready soybeans a huge leg up.

Valtera is a Group 14 residual pre-emergent product. It remains in the soil to provide safe, extended (4 to 6 week) control of tough weeds, including:

Pigweed Lambs quarters Seedling dandelions Nightshade

Pioneer Y Series relies on original Roundup Ready trait technology, introduced in 1996.

For more beans per pod and more bushels per acre, make sure your soybeans have the trait technology thats leading the way to higher yield potential. Ask for the 2.

grow AnolaOur NSC Anola RR2Y is a top yielder and one of the earliest maturing on the market. Why grow canola when you can do better with Anola?

Nodulator N/T soybean inoculants are BioStacked. BioStacked means greater plant vigour, root biomass and more nitrogen-fixing nodules on every plant. Which in turn means increased performance, superior Return-on-Investment and most importantly, added yield potential.

Designed for increased crop performance under Manitoba growing conditions, Nodulator brand inoculants are available in BioStacked liquid and BioStacked sterile peat formulations, or our unique Spherical Granules.

Whichever way you go, Nodulator inoculants are quite simply the best investment you can put into your beans.

Whichever way you go its BioStacked!
