The next generation of Roundup Resistance for soybeans. Genuity™ Roundup Ready 2 Yield™ takes the same gene as the traditional Roundup Ready soybeans use but inserts the gene more precisely and cleanly into the DNA of these new varieties. This should help to deliver significantly more yield then traditional Roundups. Genuity™ Roundup Ready 2 Yield™ varities are released on the condition they have an average of 7-11% more yield then commonly sold varieties sold in their maturity.

All Genuity™ Roundup Ready 2 Yield™ will come treated with Acceleron seed treatment to assure maximum protection and yield expression against soil borne diseases such as Fusarium, Rhizoctonia, Pythium, and early season control of Phtopthora. Also has early season control of Bean Leaf beetles and Aphids.

Because all Genuity™ Roundup Ready 2 Yield™ soybeans are treated there is a “no return” policy on these beans.

Genuity™ Roundup Ready 2 Yield™ beans will come packaged in 140,000 seed paper bags and 7,000,000 seed handler bulk boxes (size permitting) for much easier figuring of seed needs and consistent price per acre cost. Genuity™ Roundup Ready 2 Yield™ will not be available in bulk bags.

LibertyLink™ Soybeans

Allows over-the-top application of Ignite herbicide on your soybeans. Ignite herbicide is a non-selective herbicide that has no known resistant weeds. It has excellent control of all major broadleafs and grasses provided weeds are sprayed before 4 inches tall and have good surface contact. The Liberty Link system is a great alternative to RoundupReady or used in rotation for problem weed control.

CELL-TECH®

Soybeans rely on naturally occurring bacteria to convert nitrogen in the air to nitrogen usable by the plant, eliminating their need for applied nitrogen. If soil conditions get too dry or too wet, the population of these bacteria can be suppressed from year to year.

Cell-Tech is a liquid-applied mixture of carefully selected strains of these bacteria to make sure the bacteria are there for the plant. Cell-Tech is required for virgin soybean ground and should help maximize yield on other ground, commonly adding 2-1/2 bushels of yield.

NEW SEED VERSUS BIN RUN

When you buy Renk soybeans you get some huge benefits over using saved seed:

Newest genetics—to keep soybean genetics advancing in yield and to bring new traits to the market costs a lot of money. Your purchase of soybeans funds this costly development process. Everyone benefits with you getting higher yielding varieties with new traits and we can keep our breeding work moving forward.

Highest quality seed—our growing and processing of seed revolves around giving you pure, high germinating, weed-free seed. Bin run seed will never match the quality of seed we can produce. Don’t take the risk of putting seed in the ground with unknown germination and/or purity. We also maintain a full stable of varieties across different maturities to meet your seed needs. Warranty benefits—weather and planting conditions can make even the best seed fail.When this happens we stand behind our soybeans and if you have stand issues after planting we can get you new seed at a discounted price.With Roundup Rewards you have additional protection on seed and herbicide costs.

New seed pays—when you factor in all of the above you can see a definite benefit to using new seed. University studies show a 1.2–5.9 bushel advantage, and don’t forget the hidden costs of bin run beans: loss of grain to sell, cleaning cost, transportation/storage costs, no warranty and higher planting rates to offset lower germination.

Using saved seed of Roundup Ready soybeans is illegal and just doesn’t make sense from an economic standpoint. Let us worry about the seed and the genetics; you have other things to worry about.

RENK SEED PIRACY POLICY Seeds containing the Roundup Ready® trait and the Roundup Ready 2 Yield™ trait are protected under numerous United States patents, including Patent No. RE39,247. It is unlawful to save Roundup Ready® soybeans or Roundup Ready 2 Yield™ soybeans for planting or transfer to others for use as a planting seed.
