Scores are based on period-of-years testing through 2019 harvest and were the latest available at time of printing. Some scores may change after 2020 harvest. Contact your Pioneer sales professional before planting for the latest trait rating information.

IMPORTANT: Information and ratings are based on comparisons with other Pioneer® brand products, not competitive products. Information and ratings are assigned by Pioneer Agronomists and Research Managers, based on average performance across area of adaptation under normal conditions, over a wide range of both climate and soil types, and may not predict future results. Product responses are variable and subject to any number of environmental, disease and pest pressures. Please use this information as only part of your product positioning decision. Refer to www.pioneer.com or contact a Pioneer sales professional for the latest and most complete listing of traits and scores for each Pioneer brand product and for product placement and management suggestions specific to your operation and local conditions.

RATINGS: 9 = Excellent; 1 = Poor; Blank = Insufficient Data.

DISEASE PRECAUTION: Growers should balance hybrid yield potential, hybrid maturity and cultural practice selection against their anticipated risk of a specific disease and need for resistance. In high disease risk conditions, consider planting hybrids with at least moderate resistance ratings of 4 or higher to help reduce risk. When susceptible hybrids with disease ratings of 1 to 3 are planted in conditions of high disease pressure, the grower assumes a higher level of risk. If conditions are severe, even hybrids rated as resistant can be adversely affected. Independent of yield reduction, disease can predispose plants to secondary diseases such as stalk rots. This requires individual field and hybrid monitoring for stalk stability and timely harvest when warranted.

DISEASE RATINGS: 9 = Excellent; 1 = Poor; Blank = Insufficient Data; N/A = Not applicable; (-) = No specific gene resistance.1 CRM (COMPARATIVE RELATIVE MATURITY): Approximate length of time from emergence to physiological maturity, which will vary depending on planting date, environment and growing conditions.2 RM (RELATIVE MATURITY): Approximate length of time in days until flowering.3 PLANT HEIGHT: 9 = Very Tall; 1 = Short.4 HEAD SMUT RESISTANCE: Rated for resistance to Races 1, 2, 3, 4.5 HEAT RESPONSE: 1 = Delays, least responsive; 9 = Responsive, usually heads under stress. Grain sorghum hybrids react differently to environmental conditions. The characteristics used to describe this environmental reaction are “heat response” and “color score.” Either trait is desirable in grain sorghum hybrids. Yearly environment will dictate which characteristic benefits production. NOTE: Heat response and color scores express characteristics that could be favorable or unfavorable, depending on environmental conditions. Characteristics should be compared to hybrids of similar maturity group only.6 SUGARCANE APHID TOLERANCE: Pioneer® brand sorghum hybrids with the Pioneer Protector® technology designation have a sugarcane aphid tolerance rating of 5 or greater.7 GRAIN COLOR AND ENDOSPERM COLOR: BRZ = Bronze; BWN = Brown; N/A = Non-grain Bearing; RED = Red; RB = Red-brown; W/WHT = White; Y/YEL = Yellow. Grain color has no influence on feed quality.

RATINGS: 9 = Excellent; 1 = Poor; Blank = Insufficient Data.

DISEASE PRECAUTION: Grower should balance hybrid yield potential, hybrid maturity and cultural practice against anticipated risk of a specific disease and need for resistance. In high disease risk conditions, consider planting hybrids with at least a rating of 6 or higher to help reduce risk. When hybrids with disease ratings of 1 to 5 are planted in conditions of high disease pressure, the grower assumes a higher level of risk. If conditions are severe, even hybrids rated as resistant can be adversely affected. Independent of yield reduction, diseases can predispose plants to secondary diseases such as stalk rots. This requires individual field and hybrid monitoring for stalk stability and timely harvest when warranted.

DISEASE RATINGS: 9-8 = Highly Resistant; 7-6 = Resistant; 5-4 = Moderately Resistant; 3-1 = Susceptible; Blank = Insufficient Data.1 HERBICIDE SYSTEM: Pioneer® brand sunflower hybrids with the ExpressSun® trait for resistance to tribenuron-methyl herbicides labeled for use with the ExpressSun trait. This unique sunflower system is designed to maximize weed control in sunflower crops, enhancing ease of production and yield. This system provides improved weed control over conventional hybrids with traditional herbicides.2 RM (RELATIVE MATURITY): With no industry standard for maturity ratings, comparing hybrid maturity and harvest moisture ratings between companies is usually difficult. Use the RM rating to compare Pioneer® brand hybrids of a similar maturity and harvest moisture.

3 EMERGENCE: Ratings taken when first true leaf is visible.4 MID-OLEIC SCORE: 9 = Consistently meets oleic level specifications for NuSun® oil.5 HIGH-OLEIC SCORE: 9 = Consistently meets high-oleic specifications for high-oleic oil profile of 85%.6 PLANT HEIGHT: Short stature is desirable. 9 = Short; 1 = Tall.7 STEM CURVATURE: 9 = Erect; 8 = Semi-Erect (preferred); 7 = Semi-Pendulous (preferred); 6 = Pendulous; 5 = Fully Pendulous.8 MIDGE SCORE: To our knowledge, there are no fully resistant hybrids in this industry. However, differences exist in the ability to tolerate insect pressure. These scores reflect those differences. Heavy midge pressure can cause extensive damage to any hybrid.9 DOWNY MILDEW RACE RESISTANCE: Indicates downy mildew resistance to the races identified.10 HULL SCORE: A relative expression of hullability and kernel chipping. 9 = completely hulled, high percentage of whole kernels; 1 = poor hulling, many broken kernels.11 PCT OVER 13: Using a 13/64th screen, oilseed types are divided by kernel size. 9 = high percentage over 13/64; 1 = low percentage.

NuSun® is a registered certification mark of the National Sunflower Association.

2 CRM (Comparative Relative Maturity): There is not an industry standard for maturity ratings so comparing product maturity and harvest moisture ratings between companies is usually difficult. Use the CRM rating to compare Pioneer® brand products with competitive products of a similar maturity and harvest moisture. CRM ratings, and harvest moistures, for products within a family may vary slightly, depending upon the level of insect (ECB and CRW) infestation. Conventional and straight products with the RR2 gene within a family will usually be 1-2 CRMs earlier than indicated, when insect infestations are moderate to heavy. One CRM difference is about ½ point of moisture difference at harvest.3 GDUs TO PHYSIOLOGICAL MATURITY: Measures differences in growing degree units (GDUs) required to zero milkline stage. To help decide if a new product fits your area’s growing season, compare its GDUs to physiological maturity to a product that you plant or one that is successfully used in your area.4 STRESS EMERGENCE: All products are expected to establish normal stands under average soil conditions. Stress emergence is a measure of the genetic ability or potential to emerge in the stressful environmental conditions of cold, wet soils or short periods of severe low temperatures, relative to other Pioneer brand products. Ratings of 7-9 indicate very good potential to establish normal stands under such conditions; a rating of 5-6 indicates average potential to establish normal stands under moderate stress conditions; and ratings of 1-4 indicate the product has below average potential to establish normal stands under stress and should not be used if severe cold conditions are expected immediately after planting. Stress emergence is not a rating for seedling disease susceptibility, early growth or speed of emergence.5 DROUGHT TOLERANCE: Drought tolerance is a complex trait, determined by a platform’s ability to maintain yield in limited-moisture environments. A higher score indicates the potential for higher yields vs. other platforms of similar maturity in limited-moisture environments.6 EAR FLEX: Score reflects the ability of a product to flex ear size as plant density is reduced, or as growing conditions improve.7 TEST WEIGHT: Higher score indicates heavier test weight.8 PLANT HEIGHT: 9 = Very Tall; 1 = Short.9 EAR HEIGHT: 9 = High; 1 = Low.10 GRAIN DRYDOWN: Compares products of similar maturity for rate of moisture loss during grain drydown. A higher score indicates faster drydown. A lower score indicates slower drydown, or a wider opportunity for silage and high-moisture corn harvest.11 MID-SEASON BRITTLE STALK: Ratings determined by frequency and severity of stalk snappage at lower to middle stalk internodes from conditions usually favored by rapid or optimum growth. Relative response of products can be affected by planting date, stage of growth, rate of growth, wind severity and other variables. Scores derived from both natural observations and artificial evaluation immediately prior to tasseling. NOTE: Scores do not reflect snappage enhanced by or due to herbicide interaction. The use of growth regulator herbicides such as 2,4-D and dicamba can increase the brittle snap potential of corn products. Products with lower brittle stalk ratings will require more caution and have a higher risk associated with the use of growth regulator herbicides. Early application, proper rates and application methods, along with both product and herbicide selection can help reduce this risk. BRITTLE STALK PRECAUTION: In areas with higher potential for brittle stalk breakage, growers must balance the risk of planting products with brittle stalk ratings of less than 4 against the overall performance of more resistant products with higher ratings. All products have a period of susceptibility to brittle stalk. Products with below average ratings may have a longer period of susceptibility, or may experience more severe breakage relative to products with higher scores during period of susceptibility.

DISEASE PRECAUTION: Grower should balance product yield potential, product maturity and cultural practice selection against their anticipated risk of a specific disease and need for resistance. In high disease-risk conditions, consider planting products with at least moderate resistance ratings of 4 or higher to help reduce risk. When susceptible products with disease ratings of 1 to 3 are planted in conditions of high disease pressure, the grower assumes a higher level of risk. If conditions are severe, even products rated as resistant can be adversely affected. Independent of yield reduction, diseases can predispose plants to secondary diseases such as stalk rots. This requires individual field and product monitoring for stalk stability and timely harvest when warranted.

DISEASE & PEST RATINGS: 8-9 = Highly Resistant; 6-7 = Resistant; 4-5 = Moderately Resistant; 1-3 = Susceptible; Blank = Insufficient Data.12 GRAY LEAF SPOT PRECAUTION: Avoid planting products with a lower gray leaf spot (GLS) rating in continuous corn fields that have a history of GLS infection, unless tillage operations that bury significant amounts of corn residue and inoculum are practiced.13 NORTHERN LEAF BLIGHT CAUTION: In conditions where northern leaf blight (NLB) risk is high, growers should consider planting only products with at least moderate NLB resistance ratings of 4 or higher.14 FUSARIUM EAR ROT CAUTION: Ratings based upon visual symptoms at harvest. If Fusarium ear rot has caused significant damage in the past, growers should consider planting only products with at least moderate Fusarium ear rot ratings of 5 or higher.

SILAGE CORN FOOTNOTES15 SILAGE CRM (Silage Comparative Relative Maturity): With no industry standard for silage maturity, comparing maturity and harvest moisture across various companies’ corn-for-silage hybrids can be difficult. Pioneer silage CRM ratings provide a relative comparison among Pioneer® brand products of rates at which products reach harvestable whole plant moistures. It is on the same scale as the CRM rating provided for grain corn products and does not represent actual days from planting or emergence to harvest moisture or half milkline. 16 SILAGE YIELD: Based on whole-plant yield per acre (adjusted to 35% dry matter) from multi-year comparison with other products within a maturity range not exceeding 5 silage CRM units.17 FIBER DIGESTIBILITY: Based on 24-hour enzymatic estimate of percent degradable neutral detergent fiber (NDF) as a percent of total NDF in whole-plant sample, predicted by NIRS.18 STARCH AND SUGAR, %: Percent starch and soluble sugars (DM basis) in the whole-plant sample predicted by NIRS.19 MILK PER ACRE: 9 = Outstanding; 1 = Poor, based on University of Wisconsin MILK2006 utilizing silage yield, nutrient content and digestibility.20 MILK PER TON: 9 = Outstanding; 1 = Poor, based on University of Wisconsin MILK2006 utilizing silage nutrient content and digestibility.21 BEEF PER ACRE: 9 = Outstanding; 1 = Poor, based on University of Wisconsin MILK2006 utilizing silage yield, nutrient content and digestibility.22 BEEF PER TON: 9 = Outstanding; 1 = Poor, based on University of Wisconsin MILK2006 utilizing silage nutrient content and digestibility.23 PLANT STAYGREEN: Indicator of late-season plant health. A higher score indicates ability to survive farther into the growing season. Scores are taken near grain physiological maturity (zero kernel milkline) stage.24 HIGH RESIDUE SUITABILITY: HS – Highly Suitable; S – Suitable; MA – Manage Appropriately; X – Poorly Suited; NS – Not Scored. Suitability rating based on field observations and a weighted calculation of gray leaf spot, stress emergence, anthracnose stalk rot, northern corn leaf blight, and Diplodia ear rot scores. High Residue Suitability ratings may vary by environment and geography.

Refer to www.pioneer.com or contact a Pioneer sales professional for the latest and most complete listing of traits and scores for each Pioneer brand product and for product placement and management suggestions specific to your operation and local conditions.

NUMERIC RATINGS: 9 = Excellent; 1 = Poor; Blank = Insufficient Data or variety not tested for that particular trait.1 RELATIVE MATURITY: Shows the relative maturity group rating, with the digits preceding the decimal representing the general maturity group, and the digit following the decimal showing relative maturity within the group on a scale of 0 to 9, with 0 early and 9 late. For example, a soybean product with a relative maturity rating of 1.8 would be a late product in Group 1 maturity.2 TECHNOLOGY SEGMENT:

Always follow stewardship practices in accordance with the Product Use Guide (PUG) or other product-specific stewardship requirements including grain marketing and pesticide label directions. Varieties with BOLT® technology provide excellent plant-back flexibility for soybeans following application of SU (sulfonylurea) herbicides such as DuPont™ LeadOff® or DuPont™ Basis® Blend as a component of a burndown program or for double-crop soybeans following SU herbicides such as DuPont™ Finesse® applied to wheat the previous fall.

Varieties with the STS® gene (STS) are tolerant to certain SU (sulfonylurea) herbicides. This technology allows post-emergent applications of DuPont™ Synchrony® XP and DuPont™ Classic® herbicides without crop injury or stress (see herbicide product labels). NOTE: A soybean variety with a herbicide tolerant trait does not confer tolerance to all herbicides. Spraying herbicides not labeled for a specific soybean variety will result in severe plant injury or plant death. Always read and follow herbicide label directions and precautions for use.

DO NOT APPLY DICAMBA HERBICIDE IN-CROP TO SOYBEANS WITH Roundup Ready 2 Xtend® technology unless you use a dicamba herbicide product that is specifically labeled for that use in the location where you intend to make the application. IT IS A VIOLATION OF FEDERAL AND STATE LAW TO MAKE AN IN-CROP APPLICATION OF ANY DICAMBA HERBICIDE PRODUCT ON SOYBEANS WITH Roundup Ready 2 Xtend® technology, OR ANY OTHER PESTICIDE APPLICATION, UNLESS THE PRODUCT LABELING SPECIFICALLY AUTHORIZES THE USE. Contact the U.S. EPA and your state pesticide regulatory agency with any questions about the approval status of dicamba herbicide products for in-crop use with soybeans with Roundup Ready 2 Xtend® technology.ALWAYS READ AND FOLLOW PESTICIDE LABEL DIRECTIONS. Soybeans with Roundup Ready 2 Xtend® technology contain genes that confer tolerance to glyphosate and dicamba. Glyphosate herbicides will kill crops that are not tolerant to glyphosate. Dicamba will kill crops that are not tolerant to dicamba.Roundup Ready 2 Xtend® is a registered trademark of Monsanto Technology LLC used under license.

Varieties with Enlist E3® technology (E3): The transgenic soybean event in Enlist E3® soybeans is jointly developed and owned by Dow AgroSciences LLC and M.S. Technologies L.L.C. The Enlist weed control system is owned and developed by Dow AgroSciences LLC. Enlist Duo and Enlist One herbicides are not registered for sale or use in all states or counties. Contact your state pesticide regulatory agency to determine if a product is registered for sale or use in your area. Enlist Duo and Enlist One herbicides are the only 2,4-D products authorized for use in Enlist crops. Always read and follow label directions. Consult Enlist herbicide labels for weed species controlled.3 FIELD EMERGENCE: Rating based on speed and strength of emergence in sub-optimal temperatures. 1-3 = Below Average; 4-6 = Average; 7-9 = Excellent.4 PHYTOPHTHORA RESISTANCE GENE:(-) = No specific gene for resistance.Rps 1a = Provides resistance to races 1, 2, 10, 11, 13-18, 24, 26, 27, 31, 32 & 36.Rps 1c = Provides resistance to races 1-3, 6-11, 13, 15, 17, 21, 23, 24, 26, 28-30, 32, 34, 36.Rps 1k = Provides resistance to races 1-11, 13-15, 17, 18, 21-24, 26, 36, 37.5 PHYTOPHTHORA FIELD TOLERANCE: Products with high tolerance scores have demonstrated an ability to thrive in the presence of Phytophthora races to which they lack specific resistance. In some products, tolerance is expressed only after the early seedling growth stage, making such products susceptible to damping off during emergence and early seed growth.6 WHITE MOLD: Scores based on Pioneer research observations of comparative white mold tolerance among various soybean products across multiple locations and years. All products are capable of developing white mold symptoms under severe infestations. To our knowledge, there are no totally resistant products in the industry. However, differences exist in the ability of products to tolerate white mold (i.e., the rate at which the infection develops and the extent of damage it causes). These scores reflect those differences.7 SCN RESISTANCE SOURCE: There are three sources of genetic resistance to SCN currently deployed in the marketplace: PI88788; PI548402 (also known as Peking); PI437654 (also known as Hartwig); R = Resistant to SCN but the source of that resistance is not yet identified.8 CHARCOAL ROT: A fungal disease that is enhanced by hot and dry conditions, especially during reproductive growth stages. Scores based on Pioneer research observations of the comparative ability to tolerate infection from the charcoal rot pathogen among various soybean products.9 CHLORIDE SENSITIVITY: This score tracks the ability of the soybean product screened for this trait to be able to grow and have normal yields in soils that have high levels of chloride salts.10 CANOPY WIDTH: 9 = Extremely bushy; 1 = Very narrow.11 SHATTERING: 9 = Excellent tolerance to shattering; 1 = Poor tolerance to shattering.12 PLANT HEIGHT FOR MATURITY: 9 = Tall; 1 = Short.

13 FLOOD TOLERANCE: Tolerance to standing water or saturated soils which are typically found at the low end of surface irrigated fields or in the low lying areas of fields after a heavy rain event. The score is a measure of the variety’s potential to continue normal growth and photosynthesis when placed under those environmental conditions for up to one week.14 PLANT HABIT: IND = INDETERMINATE-type soybeans grown in Group 00-4 regions. These plants typically continue to grow as they flower, resulting in a longer pod fill time. You may find nearly mature seeds at the bottom of a plant that is still flowering at the top. DET = DETERMINATE soybeans grown in Group 5 and later maturities. These plants typically stop growing once they begin to flower, and all flowering occurs within a more defined timeframe.

Note: U.S. patents, Plant Variety Protection Act (PVPA) applications and certificates, or other limitations on use may be used to protect Pioneer brand soybean products from unauthorized growing, selling or use of the seed. These protections help assure that growers will continue to have access to new and improved products through the research efforts of plant scientists in the years ahead.

ALFALFA FOOTNOTES* All Pioneer products are varieties unless designated with Brand, in which case it is

comprised of more than one Pioneer brand variety.+ Varieties with HarvXtra® technology will have significantly higher RFQ values than any

other variety due to the reduced lignin content.

Trait Scores (9 = Outstanding; 1 = Poor; Blank = Insufficient Data, unless otherwise noted) are based upon period-of-years testing against other Pioneer® brand products through 2019. Pest resistance, dormancy and winterhardiness ratings based on standard test protocols prescribed by the North American Alfalfa Improvement Conference (NAAIC). Ratings may change over additional years of data collection, or if NAAIC protocols change. Scores are assigned by Pioneer Agronomists and Research Managers from research data across a range of climates and growing conditions and may not predict future results. Variety responses are variable and subject to any number of environmental, disease and pest pressures. Please use this information as only part of your product positioning decision. Refer to www.pioneer.com or contact a Pioneer sales professional for the latest and most complete listing of traits and scores for each Pioneer brand product.1 Disease, Insect, and Nematode Pest Resistance Scores: NAAIC standardized test score: HR = Highly Resistant; R = Resistant; MR = Moderately Resistant; LR = Low Resistance; S = Susceptible; Blank = Insufficient Data. Pioneer 1-9 score: 9 = >70%, 8 = 51-69%, 7 = 41-50%, 6 = 31-40%, 5 = 23-30%, 4 = 16-22%, 3 = 11-15%, 2 = 6-10%, and 1 = 1-5% resistant plants in standardized tests.2 FALL DORMANCY: Fall dormancy ratings based on standard test protocols of the NAAIC. 1 = Very fall dormant, 11 = Non-dormant.3 FORAGE YIELD: Rating based on paired comparison data through 2018 for trials located in the U.S. Ratings for Pioneer® varieties 55H94 and 55H96 from trials with moderate to heavy potato leafhopper infestation, with no insecticide applied.

4 HERBICIDE RESISTANCE: Always Read and Follow Pesticide Label Directions. Roundup Ready® Alfalfa (RRA) products and/or HarvXtra Alfalfa with Roundup Ready Technology (HVX) contain genes that confer tolerance to glyphosate. Glyphosate agricultural herbicides will kill crops that are not tolerant to glyphosate. Accidental application of incompatible herbicides to these alfalfa varieties could result in total crop loss. HVX alfalfa products contain the biotechnology-derived trait developed to maximize alfalfa quality compared to commercially available alfalfa products harvested at the same growth stage, by reducing the amount of lignin in the plant.Do not export Pioneer® brand Alfalfa seed or crops containing Roundup Ready® and/or Pioneer® brand Alfalfa with HarvXtra® Technology, including hay or hay products, to China pending import approval. In addition, due to the unique cropping practices, do not plant this product in Imperial County, California. Crops and materials containing biotech traits may only be exported to, used, processed, or sold in jurisdictions where all necessary regulatory approvals have been granted for those crops and materials. It is a violation of national and international law to move materials containing biotech traits into jurisdictions where their import is not permitted. Growers should discuss these issues with their purchaser or grain handler to confirm the purchaser or handler’s position on products purchased. For further information on the approval status of biotech traits, please visit www.biotradestatus.com.
