ADDITIONAL ADVICE

Always consider your overall return on investment when making your final trait decision.

  • One trait may offer more protection than you may need at the time, but (based on the seed) will still have potential to deliver a better return on investment than another trait.
  • Inversely, a trait may provide less protection than recommended, but (depending on the product) may outperform a product with the recommended trait in your area.

When your risks are known and accounted for, Bayer always recommends the trait that offers the best return on investment for your operation.
