Monsanto has several specialty crops in our pipeline. These crops include alfalfa, canola, sugarcane and wheat. Monsanto’s work with these products is aimed at increasing yield-potential, insect protection and value-added agronomic traits.
2013 Pipeline Advancements
Insect-protected + Roundup Ready Sugarcane (Advanced to Phase 2)
Insect-protected + Roundup Ready® Sugarcane is designed to use the Bt technology widely adopted in corn and cotton to control economically damaging pests in Brazil, including sugarcane borer. The insect protection is combined with the Roundup Ready® gene for more flexible weed control. Learn More »
Herbicide-tolerant Wheat (Advanced to Phase 2)
Herbicide-tolerant wheat is designed to incorporate tolerance to multiple herbicide modes of action, giving growers multiple options for weed management. Early field trials showed excellent tolerance to dicamba and glufosinate. Learn More »
| TruFlex Genuity® Roundup Ready® Canola |
| Agronomic pipeline – Phase 4 |
TruFlex Genuity® Roundup Ready® Canola is a second-generation weed control product that would offer farmers greater flexibility through an extended application window up to the first flower and opportunity to apply Roundup® herbicide at higher rates for enhanced weed control.
