Bayer announced today that the European Commission has authorized XtendFlex soybean technology for food, feed, import, and processing in the European Union. This represents the final key authorization for XtendFlex soybeans that tolerate glufosinate (Group 10), glyphosate (Group 9), and dicamba (Group 4) herbicides. With this approval in hand, Bayer can fully launch the product in the United States and Canada in 2021 and expects to be in a strong position to supply 20 million U.S. soy acres when the selling season arrives, say company officials.
