Monsanto and Corteva have announced the companies have reached an agreement on an expanded license for Roundup Ready 2 Xtend technology for soybeans.

Corteva Agriscience will offer U.S. and Canadian growers additional weed control flexibility through broader access to Roundup Ready 2 Xtend technology across its North America seed brand portfolio.

The technology can be incorporated into the Mycogen and Dairyland Seed brands in the U.S. and the Brevant seed brand in Canada.

Soybeans containing the Roundup Ready 2 Xtend trait are the industry's first soybeans with both dicamba and glyphosate herbicide tolerance.
