Variety performance review
Asgrow MG 2.x Soybean in the Corn Belt North.
- Good
- Bayer Crop Science (Asgrow)
- Maturity Group 2.0–2.9
- GMO
Trait package: Roundup Ready 2 Xtend
Regional strengths
MG 2 maturity matches the Northern Corn Belt season — these varieties reach R8 with enough buffer before frost in most years. Asgrow has a deep MG 2 lineup and the Xtend trait is widely deployed for waterhemp control here.
Regional weaknesses
Iron deficiency chlorosis (IDC) on calcareous high-pH soils in eastern South Dakota and western Minnesota requires specific IDC-tolerant variety selection — the brand-level rating doesn't substitute for the per-variety rating, request the specific variety's IDC score from your dealer. White mold pressure in wet years can be severe and Asgrow's white mold tolerance varies by variety.
