Bayer’s new Vyconic soybean trait is expected to be available commercially in 2027. According to Asgrow Portfolio Lead Ryan Goddard, it will be the first trait offering tolerance to five different herbicides. “We expect it to hit the market for an introduction in ’27, making a bigger splash in ’28,” said Goddard. “It’s everything that an XtendFlex soybean is, plus mesotrione and also 2,4-D, so it’s offering our growers a lot of options in terms of weed control.” In addition to the new flexibility, Goddard says it also has excellent yield potential.
