Nearly all Garst brand or Syngenta group beans are r/r, and of course, the same applies to Monsanto's seeds, as the owner of the Roundup patent and the roundup-ready patent.
The r/r patent expires in 2014, after which farmers will still be able to find r/r seeds, or seeds that tolerate its generic glyphosate equivalent. Monsanto also claims that they will not sue farmers who keep r/r seeds from their own crop to replant after the patent expires.

What does it mean to be roundup ready?
Roundup ready is a term to describe a genetically modified crop. It is mainly referred to soybeans, named "roundup ready soybeans". These are unquestionably a wary food source on terms of safety, despite the fact that it is resistant to glyphosphate.
What kills roundup ready alfalfa without killing soybeans?

What does roundup ready mean in plant science?
Roundup is the name of a herbicide used by farmers to kill weeds. A plant is said to be roundup ready if it is resistant to roundup, so that you can spray a field with roundup and it will kill the weeds but won't kill the roundup ready crop.
What are 3 examples of GMO's and why they were produced?
Three examples of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) include Bt cotton, Roundup Ready soybeans, and Golden Rice. Bt cotton was engineered to produce a bacterial toxin that protects against pests, reducing the need for chemical pesticides. Roundup Ready soybeans are modified to tolerate glyphosate herbicide, allowing farmers to control weeds more effectively. Golden Rice was developed to contain higher levels of vitamin A to combat malnutrition in regions where diets lack this essential nutrient.
What are round up ready seeds?
Roundup Ready seeds are genetically modified seeds developed by Monsanto (now part of Bayer) that are engineered to be resistant to glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup herbicide. This allows farmers to apply glyphosate to control weeds without harming the crops. The technology is commonly used in various crops, including soybeans, corn, and cotton, enabling more efficient weed management and higher yields. However, the use of Roundup Ready seeds has raised concerns about environmental impact and the development of herbicide-resistant weed species.
How does Roundup ready seed work?
To oversimplify it, a gene is inserted into the plant that keeps the plant from metabolizing glyphosate (roundup).
What are the genes of genetically engineered corn?

What are the advantages of round up ready?
The main advantage is the ability to spray for weeds with roundup and not damage the crop. Roundup is a non-selective herbicide that controls both grassy weeds and broad leaf weeds. Roundup ready crops are unaffected by roundup so all weeds can be killed while the crop is undamaged. Basically, a farmer can control all weeds with one herbicide and not have to worry about a loss of the crop.
What kills roundup alfalfa in soybeans?
Roundup alfalfa, which is genetically modified to be resistant to glyphosate, can be controlled in soybean fields through the application of non-selective herbicides that contain glyphosate. However, other herbicides that target broadleaf plants, such as 2,4-D or dicamba, can effectively kill Roundup alfalfa without harming soybeans, especially when used at the appropriate growth stages. Additionally, cultural practices like crop rotation and mechanical methods can also help manage Roundup alfalfa populations in soybean fields.
What ingredients does roundup have in it?
The active ingredient in Roundup Ready to Use is 2.0% Glyphosate and 2.0% Pelargonic acid and related fatty acids... 2.0%
What is in roundup?
Roundup Weed and Grass killer contains glyphosate (2% in its Ready To Use form) It also contains a soap like surfactant that helps it to adhere to the weeds better.
