Vistive® low-linolenic Soybean Products, Quality Traits for Premium Soybean Markets

The Growing Market for Food Quality Traits

Since the beginning of 2006, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has required food manufacturers to include unhealthy trans fat content on product labels. As a result, food manufacturers are looking for opportunities to reduce the use of hydrogenated soybean oil to lower or eliminate trans fats from foods. Low-linolenic soybean oil is one solution.

Roundup Ready® Soybeans

Newly Purchased Seed: An Integral Part of Sound Stewardship

When you plant Roundup Ready soybeans, you get professionally handled, consistent-quality soybeans with the latest germplasm available. Every new bag of Asgrow soybeans are packed with high germination rates, yield potential and varietal purity.

To help achieve those standards, Monsanto reinvests about $800 million annually in research and development to continually develop and commercialize new seed technologies. These seed technologies, protected under U.S. patents and shared via the Monsanto Technology/Stewardship Agreement (MTA), enable soybean farmers to realize better profit potential, wider choices for seed and better risk management through programs such as Roundup Rewards.

Contact your local Monsanto representative for more information, or call 1-800-ROUNDUP.

* When Genuity™ Roundup Ready 2 Yield® soybeans are made available for commercial release and use, they will be subject to Monsanto Company’s comprehensive stewardship plans consistent with its Stewardship Policy for Commercialization of Biotechnology-Derived Plant Products in Commodity Crops. Genuity™ Roundup Ready 2 Yield® soybean seed and any product of a Genuity™ Roundup Ready 2 Yield® soybean seed or crop can only be exported to, or used, processed or sold in countries where all necessary regulatory approvals have been granted.
