The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) has authorized spring planting of Genuity® Roundup Ready® sugar beets. Roundup Ready sugar beets were developed by Monsanto and KWS.
"USDA's decision is a positive step for sugar beet farmers." said Steve Welker, sugar beet commercial lead at Monsanto. "Sugar beet farmers have been busy preparing for spring planting, waiting for USDA's guidance and hoping it would come in time for spring planting." Monsanto will carefully review the details of these interim measures for continued planting of Roundup Ready sugar beets.
In 2010, more than 90 percent of the sugar beets grown in North America were Roundup Ready varieties. Sugar beet growers have confirmed that Roundup Ready sugar beets reduce impacts on the environment and enable them to be more productive.
