BRS 2553XTD is a transgenic (GM), "Xtend”-type soybean cultivar that is tolerant to the herbicides dicamba and glyphosate, which facilitates weed control, and is a great refuge option for the “Intacta 2/Xtend” cultivars with maturity groups between 5.1 and 5.5.

It offers the competitive differential of resistance to Phytophthora root rot, an important soil disease that attacks soybeans, whose main control method is the use of resistant cultivars. With excellent production potential and resistance to the main soybean diseases, BRS 2553XTD shows an indeterminate growth type, imperfect black hilum, super early cycle, maturity group 5.3, and suitable plant size. It is adapted to anticipated sowing in the regions that require that practice and thus suits crop succession and/or rotation. Edaphoclimatic regions of adaptation: REC 102 – Rio Grande do Sul (Missões, Planalto Médio, Upper Uruguai River Valley – East and West); Santa Catarina (West, Midwest and Northeast); Paraná (Southwest). Some agronomic characteristics may vary depending on the year, the region, the level of soil fertility and the sowing time. Consult an Agronomic Engineer.
