9 Reasons to Try LibertyLink® GT27™ Soybeans

Posted By Mark Grundmeier, Product Manager

While Enlist E3™ soybeans have been grabbing all the attention, LLGT27 soybeans have been quietly performing very well for both weed control and yield. This new technology has a real opportunity to capture market share due to its outstanding performance plus the flexibility of using Liberty®, glyphosate herbicides or BOTH.

Another reason LLGT27 appeals to farmers is because they’re seeing much less stunting and better yields when LLGT27 soybeans are planted in fields with carryover of HPPD (group 27) herbicides. Remember, NO group 27 herbicide is approved for post-emergent application on LibertyLink GT27 soybeans.

Need more reasons to take a second look at LLGT27? Below is a brief summary of some 2019 yield reports from new Latham soybean lines:
