In Brazil, Reuters reported that German conglomerate Bayer said it will sell a new soybean product called Intacta 5+ for farmers in Brazil.
Bayer said commercial varieties with the new biotechnology are expected to be ready for the 2027/28 crop season, pending regulatory approvals and business decisions in Brazil and abroad.
Intacta 5+ seeds are the first technology in Brazil with tolerance to five herbicides: mesotrione, dicamba, glyphosate, glufosinate, and 2,4-D, Bayer said. The new seed also offers protection against certain caterpillars that can damage soy plants, the company added.
The new seeds bring “an important genetic advancement that will help farmers face current and future agricultural challenges,” said Marcio Santos, CEO of Bayer’s crop division in Brazil.
