The crop has tolerance to herbicides based on glyphosate, glufosinate ammonium and 2,4-D, as well as to HPPD-inhibiting herbicides. The government said the soybean was produced by conventionally crossing two modified events already authorized for sale in Argentina. Regulatory reviews by CONABIA, SENASA and the market-policy directorate found no new or increased agricultural biosafety risks, judged it as safe and nutritious as conventional comparators, and identified no risk to exports of soy or its derivatives. ## Data ### Argentina soybean authorization Commercial-use decision announced on 16 October 2026.
