Roundup Ready corn hybrids have been enhanced through Biotechnology to allow the use of glyphosate herbicides like Roundup WeatherMax®. Roundup Ready crops produce a protein very similar to the one that Roundup blocks, but different enough that Roundup is ineffective against the plant. Thus crops with the Roundup Ready trait override Roundup. This gives the Roundup Ready corn system unsurpassed weed control, proven crop safety, control of more then 145 grasses, and broadleaf weeds, and peace of mind.
