Syngenta announced
today it has begun processing redemption forms from growers who
participated in the 2007 AgriEdge® Corn program and will
continue receiving claims until November 15, 2007. Growers who
planted corn hybrids with Agrisure™ traits are automatically
eligible to participate in AgriEdge Corn programs that provide
industry-leading assurances and Technology Reinvestments.
“The AgriEdge Corn program is designed to provide growers with
customizable, season-long seed and crop protection solutions
that best suit their agronomic needs,” says Rex Wichert,
AgriEdge Corn business manager, “The program combines the best
technologies with unique Technology Reinvestments that reimburse
growers for the full value of overlapping technology. This gives
growers the flexibility to make in-season adjustments to their
weed and insect control programs, and allows them to focus on
maximizing the full yield potential of their hybrid’s genetics
to increase crop productivity.”
Any grower who plants a qualifying NK®, Garst®, Golden Harvest®
or other brand corn hybrid with Agrisure™ traits is eligible to
participate in AgriEdge Corn, which protects the seed investment
with a weed or insect management system.
Growers can get an AgriEdge Corn Redemption Form when settling
the seed account with their seed dealer. Forms can also be
downloaded from
www.AgriEdge.com. To submit a Technology Reinvestment claim,
growers should send the completed AgriEdge Redemption Form no
later than November 15, 2007 along with proof of purchases to
the AgriEdge Redemption Center: Growers can expect to receive
their Technology Reinvestment 4 to 6 weeks after all required
documentation is received.
