Technology for Traits Products

The Technology for Traits portfolio is specifically designed to help Roundup Ready crops reach their top yield potential by controlling difficult, yield-robbing weeds.

 SureStart™ herbicide

SureStart™ – Designed for use in Roundup Ready Corn

SureStart™ herbicide is a soil-applied foundation herbicide developed to conveniently control weeds so they don't hurt the yield potential of your Roundup Ready corn.
  • Delivers consistent, broad-spectrum, soil-applied control for up to six weeks of more than 60 grasses and broadleaf weeds, including glyphosate-resistant and -tolerant weeds
  • Stops weeds from depriving your corn of essential nutrients, moisture and sunlight during early development stages - maximizing the yield and profit potential of your corn
  • Wide application window from preplant to 11-inch-tall corn allows you the flexibility to control weeds before the crop emerges, or to make postemergence applications if adverse weather or equipment availability prevent you from making the ideal planned preemergence application

 Sonic™ herbicide

When it comes to foundation control of tough weeds in Roundup Ready soybeans, Sonic™ herbicide delivers powerful, broad-spectrum weed control.
  • Foundation control of numerous broadleaf weeds, including all glyphosate-resistant and -tolerant species
  • Helps you make your post glyphosate spray at an optimum time on smaller, more uniformly-sized weeds
  • Boosts soybean yield potential  by reducing early season weed competition
