Taming the Trait Maze: A Quick Guide to Herbicide-Tolerant Crops
Farmers and crop advisors face a maze of nearly 40 herbicide-tolerant trait platforms across 10 major row crops this year – with more on the horizon!
That’s where the Herbicide Trait Quick Guide can help. This quick-flip booklet helps users sort through the many platforms and see which herbicides are safe and legal to use on each individual traited crop, faster than ever. It covers trait systems in corn, soybeans, cotton, wheat, sorghum, rice, sugarbeets, sunflowers, alfalfa and canola.
The guide was created by the Soy Checkoff’s Take Action Herbicide-Resistance Management program and the GROW (Getting Rid of Weeds) network. Thanks to the checkoff’s support, the guide is now free for limited print orders and digital downloads, on this Take Action webpage.
Each page of the booklet features a chart of an individual crop’s trait systems and the corresponding herbicides that can be applied to them.

GROW and Take Action aim to keep the Herbicide Trait Quick Guide as up to date as possible, with new guides published when new trait platforms join or leave the farming landscape.
