Vistive™ low-linolenic Soybean Products, Quality Traits for Premium Soybean Markets
The Growing Market for Food Quality Traits
Since the beginning of 2006, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has required
food manufacturers to include unhealthy trans fat content on product labels.
As a result, food manufacturers are looking for opportunities to reduce the use of hydrogenated soybean oil
to lower or eliminate trans fats from foods. Low-linolenic soybean oil is one
solution.

You can benefit from food companies’ increasing demand for low-linolenic
soybean oil by growing Asgrow® brand Vistive™ soybeans—a
low-lin solution for processed foods. Asgrow brand Vistive soybeans offer soybean cyst nematode (SCN) resistance, disease
tolerance and high yield potential. You can produce a healthy, high-yielding
crop and—through a partnership with participating soybean processors—increase
your profit potential.
- Market-Demand Premiums: Meeting food companies’ growing
demand for low-linolenic oil can result in grain premiums.

Newly Purchased Seed: An Integral Part of Sound Stewardship
When you plant Roundup Ready soybeans, you get professionally handled, consistent-quality
soybeans with the latest germplasm available. Every new bag of Asgrow soybeans
are packed with high germination rates, yield potential and varietal purity.
To help achieve those standards, Monsanto reinvests about $800 million annually
in research and development to continually develop and commercialize new seed
technologies. These seed technologies, protected under U.S. patents and shared
via the Monsanto Technology/Stewardship Agreement (MTA), enable soybean farmers
to realize better profit potential, wider choices for seed and better risk
management through programs such as Roundup Rewards.

Always Read and Follow Pesticide Label Directions. Roundup Ready® crops contain genes that confer
tolerance to glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup® agricultural herbicides. Roundup® agricultural herbicides
