2018 Seed Kickoff
2018 Seed Kickoff
Looking Forward to 2018
On October 13, 2017, the EPA announced enhancements to our XtendiMax® with VaporGrip® Technology product label that will help farmers have even more success with the Roundup Ready® Xtend Crop System in 2018. The updates, which were voluntarily proposed by Monsanto and are supported by the EPA, include:
Now designated as a Restricted Use Pesticide (RUP)
Mandatory annual applicator training
Expanded record keeping We are taking a variety of steps to help our customers use this weed management system successfully in 2018. Monsanto's commitments include:
Tailoring our trainings based on 2017 learnings
Distributing spray nozzles at no cost
Setting up technical support call center
Developing spray app to help farmers avoid problematic weather conditions
Offering free flags to mark Roundup Ready® Xtend Crop System fields

Phosphorus – Important Roles
-photosynthesis rate
-energy transfer
-root development
-nodulation and nitrogen fixation
-water use efficiency
-reproductive growth and maturation
-seed number/seed size
-seed germination
-works with potassium/disease control
Potassium – Important roles
-regulates several plant processes
Water/nutrient transport
Water vapor & CO2 exchange through stomates (respiration)
Uptake and transfer of other nutrients
- Stem strength (standability) Why Deficient? -Tied up in soil - Compaction (limits root growth) -Stratification, residue at surface above the root zone -Soil Temp/pH - most available at pH of 6.0 to 7.0 -cool soil temps can limit root growth - Removal without replacement depletes soil
