Save up to $6.25 per acre while
controlling more than 120 broadleaf weeds and grasses
U.S. corn growers wishing to manage weed-resistance concerns
without giving up the convenience of a non-selective herbicide
system can do both more economically in 2007. By using Liberty®
herbicide on LibertyLink® hybrids from participating seed
companies, corn growers will receive up to $6.25 per acre from
Bayer CropScience.
Along with this tremendous savings, corn growers can get the
convenience and efficacy of the only true alternative to Roundup
Ready®.
The 32 oz/acre rate of Liberty controls up to 120 tough grasses
and broadleaf weeds — that includes glyphosate-resistant and
tolerant weeds and even Roundup Ready volunteers. Liberty is
effective on tough-to-control weeds like woolly cupgrass,
waterhemp, cocklebur, lambsquarter, foxtail, velvetleaf and many
others.
Liberty and the LibertyLink system also offer rotation
alternatives to RoundupReady and conventional corn.
“By rotating LibertyLink and Roundup Ready, you can better
manage weed-resistance issues or minimize their potential
occurrence,” says Andy Hurst, product manager for Liberty
herbicide, Bayer CropScience. “In the process, you will help
keep both systems viable for years to come.”
The LibertyLink trait is available in all Herculex® and
Agrisure™ CB/LL hybrids.
Numerous seed companies, including Pioneer, NK, Garst, Golden
Harvest, Mycogen Seeds, Wyffels, Curry, Croplan Genetics and
others are participating in the program.
