Soybeans
Always follow stewardship practices in accordance with the Product Use Guide (PUG) or other product-specific stewardship requirements including grain marketing and pesticide label directions. Varieties with BOLT® technology provide excellent plant-back flexibility for soybeans following application of sulfonylurea (SU) herbicides such as DuPont™ LeadOff® or DuPont™ Basis® Blend as a component of a burndown program or for double-crop soybeans following SU herbicides such as DuPont™ Finesse® applied to wheat the previous fall.
Always follow grain marketing, stewardship practices and pesticide label directions. Varieties with the Glyphosate Tolerant trait (including those designated by the letter “R” in the product number) contain genes that confer tolerance to glyphosate herbicides. Glyphosate herbicides will kill crops that are not tolerant to glyphosate.
Varieties with the Roundup Ready 2 Yield® (RR2Y) trait: ALWAYS READ AND FOLLOW PESTICIDE LABEL DIRECTIONS. Roundup Ready® technology contains genes that confer tolerance to glyphosate, an active ingredient in Roundup® brand agricultural herbicides. Agricultural herbicides containing glyphosate will kill crops that are not tolerant to glyphosate. Roundup Ready 2 Yield® is a trademark of Bayer Group.
Varieties with the STS® trait are tolerant to certain sulfonylurea (SU) herbicides. This technology allows post-emergent applications of DuPont™ Synchrony® XP and DuPont™ Classic® herbicides without crop injury or stress (see herbicide product labels). NOTE: A soybean variety with a herbicide tolerant trait does not confer tolerance to all herbicides. Spraying herbicides not labeled for a specific soybean variety will result in severe plant injury or plant death. Always read and follow herbicide label directions and precautions for use.
Varieties with the LibertyLink® (LL) gene are resistant to Liberty® herbicide. Liberty®, LibertyLink® and the Water Droplet Design are registered trademarks of BASF.

All Pioneer products denoted with ™ are brand names.
**Ratings denoted with a double asterisk (**) reflect preliminary data subject to change when additional data becomes available.
IMPORTANT: Product responses are variable and subject to any number of environmental, disease and pest pressures. Please use this information as only part of your product positioning decision. Individual results may vary.
Trait ratings provide key information useful in selection and management of Pioneer® brand products in your area. Scores are based on testing through 2023 harvest and were the latest available at time of printing. Some scores may change after 2024 harvest. Information and ratings are based on average performance across area of adaptation under normal conditions, over a wide range of both climate and soil types and may not predict future results. Refer to pioneer.com or contact a Pioneer sales professional for the latest and most complete listing of traits and scores for each Pioneer brand product and for product placement and management suggestions specific to your operation and local conditions.
NUMERIC RATINGS: 9 = Excellent; 1 = Poor; Blank = Insufficient Data or variety not tested for that particular trait.
RELATIVE MATURITY: Shows the relative maturity group rating, with the digits preceding the decimal representing the general maturity group, and the digit following the decimal showing relative maturity within the group on a scale of 0 to 9, with 0 early and 9 late. For example, a soybean product with a relative maturity rating of 1.8 would be a late product in Group 1 maturity.
(-) = Variety does not contain a herbicide resistant gene.
FIELD EMERGENCE: Rating based on speed and strength of emergence in sub-optimal temperatures. 1-3 = Below Average; 4-6 = Average; 7-9 = Excellent.
PHYTOPHTHORA RESISTANCE GENE:
(-) = No specific gene for resistance.
Rps1^^ = Contains Rps1c or Rps1k Phytophthora resistance.
Rps 1a = Provides resistance to races 1, 2, 10, 11, 13-18, 24, 26, 27, 31, 32, 36, 38, 48, 50-52, 54-55.
Rps 1c = Provides resistance to races 1-3, 6-11, 13, 15, 17, 21, 23, 24, 26, 28-30, 32, 34, 36, 38, 41, 42, 44, 48, 50, 52, 54, 55.
Rps 1k = Provides resistance to races 1-11, 13-15, 17, 18, 21-24, 26, 36-38, 42-44, 46-55.
Rps 6 = Provides resistance to races 1-4, 10, 12, 14-16, 18-21, 25, 28, 33-35, 38-48, 52-54.
Rps 3a = Resistant to races 1-5, 8-9, 11, 13-14, 16, 18, 23, 25, 28-29, 31-35, 39-41, 43-45, 47-52, 54.
Rps 3c = Resistant to races 1-4, 10-16, 18-36, 38-54.
PHYTOPHTHORA FIELD TOLERANCE: Products with high tolerance scores have demonstrated an ability to thrive in the presence of Phytophthora races to which they lack specific resistance. In some products, tolerance is expressed only after the early seedling growth stage, making such products susceptible to damping off during emergence and early seed growth.
BROWN STEM ROT: HT = Highly Tolerant; MT = Moderately Tolerant; MS = Moderately Susceptible.
WHITE MOLD: Scores based on Pioneer research observations of comparative white mold tolerance among various soybean products across multiple locations and years. All products are capable of developing white mold symptoms under severe infestations. To our knowledge, there are no totally resistant products in the industry. However, differences exist in the ability of products to tolerate white mold (i.e., the rate at which the infection develops and the extent of damage it causes). These scores reflect those differences.
SCN RESISTANCE SOURCE: There are three sources of genetic resistance to SCN currently deployed in the marketplace: PI88788; PI548402 (also known as Peking); PI437654 (also known as Hartwig); R = Resistant to SCN but the source of that resistance is not yet identified.
SOYBEAN CYST NEMATODE [SCN]: Resistance to each of the major SCN races is scored on a 1-9 scale. 9 = Excellent resistance; 8-7 = Very good resistance; 6 = Good resistance; 5 = Average resistance; 4 = Below average resistance; 3-2 = Susceptible; 1 = Highly susceptible; to the specific race indicated.
CHARCOAL ROT: A fungal disease that is enhanced by hot and dry conditions, especially during reproductive growth stages. Scores based on Pioneer research observations of the comparative ability to tolerate infection from the charcoal rot pathogen among various soybean products.
STEM CANKER GENE: RES = provides resistance. SUS = no specific gene for resistance.
CERCOSPORA: A fungal disease that is enhanced by wet periods followed by hot and dry conditions, especially during reproductive growth stages. Scores based on Pioneer research observations of the comparative ability to tolerate infection from the Cercospora kikuchii pathogen among various soybean products.
CHLORIDE SENSITIVITY: All soybeans take in chloride (Cl-), a water-soluble salt, via the plants’ roots. Chloride moves freely within damp or wet soils. This can be an issue in soils with higher levels of Cl- by allowing harmful concentrations of Cl- to accumulate in the tops of plants, or the “growing point,” which can lead to a condition known as “chlorosis” and result in injury to soybean plants by stunting the plant’s growth.
- EXC - Excluder varieties have the ability to identify and exclude Cl-, inhibiting the movement of Cl-into the growing point and reducing the likelihood of stunting due to chlorosis.
- INT - Intermediate varieties translocate Cl-, slowing the rate at which Cl- reaches the growing point of the plant. Intermediate varieties are less susceptible to chlorosis and its effects than Includer varieties and are more susceptible to the effects of chlorosis than Excluder varieties.
- INC - Includer varieties readily translocate Cl- to the growing point of the plant, increasing the risk of stunting due to chlorosis.
CANOPY WIDTH: 9 = Extremely bushy; 1 = Very narrow.
PLANT HEIGHT FOR MATURITY: 9 = Tall; 1 = Short.
PLANT HABIT: IND = INDETERMINATE-type soybeans grown in Group 00-4 regions. These plants typically continue to grow as they flower, resulting in a longer pod fill time. You may find nearly mature seeds at the bottom of a plant that is still flowering at the top. DET = DETERMINATE soybeans grown in Group 5 and later maturities. These plants typically stop growing once they begin to flower, and all flowering occurs within a more defined timeframe.
FLOOD TOLERANCE: Tolerance to standing water or saturated soils which are typically found at the low end of surface irrigated fields or in the low-lying areas of fields after a heavy rain event. The score is a measure of the variety’s potential to continue normal growth and photosynthesis when placed under those environmental conditions for up to one week.
% PROTEIN AT 13% MOISTURE: Compare data within table only. Values can vary widely by growing season and region.
% OIL AT 13% MOISTURE: Compare data within table only. Values can vary widely by growing season and region.
FLOWER COLOR: P = Purple; W = White.
PUBESCENCE COLOR: T = Tawny; G = Gray; L = Light tawny; M = Mixed.
HILA COLOR: BL = Black; BR = Brown; TN = Tan; G = Gray; IB = Imperfect black; BF = Buff; Y = Yellow (Clear); M = Mixed.
POD COLOR: BR = Brown; TN = Tan.
