Bayer’s Crop Science division unveiled their latest innovation, Vyconic soybeans, at Commodity Classic 2025 in Denver, Colorado. These soybeans will feature a groundbreaking trait technology that offers tolerance to five herbicides, including dicamba, glufosinate, mesotrione, 2,4-D, and glyphosate, all in one trait. This advanced trait package will allow farmers to customize their weed control programs based on their specific needs.
In addition to the five herbicide tolerances, Vyconic soybeans will also include two new herbicide tolerances for mesotrione and 2,4-D, which are effective against a range of broadleaf weeds. The soybeans will feature industry-leading genetics and beneficial agronomic traits, ensuring excellent yield potential for farmers.
Kacy Perry, North America soybean business lead for Bayer’s Crop Science division, emphasized the importance of providing farmers with flexible and effective solutions like Vyconic soybeans to address the challenges of weed control. The new technology aims to empower farmers to create custom weed management plans to maximize effectiveness, outcomes, and yield potential.
Vyconic soybeans are expected to be introduced to the market in the United States and Canada by the 2027 planting season. Bayer is also working on developing proprietary herbicide formulations to further optimize weed management offerings. The company’s innovation in agriculture, demonstrated by the introduction of Vyconic soybeans, reflects their commitment to meeting the evolving needs of farmers worldwide.
