New products and services
provide innovative solutions to grower needs
Corn, soybean and cereals growers are invited to learn more
about new products and services from Bayer CropScience LP, as
part of its Helping You Grow initiative, during the 2008
Commodity Classic. This annual event is slated for Feb. 28
through March 1 at the Opryland Hotel in Nashville, Tennessee.
Bayer CropScience is expecting to launch a number of new crop
protection and production technologies in the next few years,
and is offering informal grower sessions on products and
agronomic issues at its Commodity Classic exhibit, booth No.
833.
“We are focused on helping growers achieve better yield and
crop-quality results by protecting their seed hybrids and
varieties from planting to harvest, implementing weed-management
practices and eliminating pest issues,” says Tim Zurliene,
director of marketing for herbicides and fungicides.
New product offerings for the upcoming crop season include
Huskie™ herbicide for cereals and Laudis™ herbicide for corn.
The company plans to launch LibertyLink® soybeans in 2009.
Company personnel also want to extend an invitation to growers
to check their email messages from home and relax between
activities at the Bayer CropScience Internet Café, which will be
located at Delta Lobby B of the Opryland Hotel. The Café will
provide light refreshments free-of-charge to all attending
growers and their families.
Bayer CropScience also is hosting a brief presentation at 12:30
p.m. on Friday, Feb. 29, 2008, at its booth, to congratulate the
2007 National Corn Growers Association National Corn Yield
Contest winners. For the second year in a row, all nine
first-place divisional contest winners used Poncho® 250 or
Poncho 1250 seed-applied insecticide.
“These nine growers have diverse environmental conditions, pest
spectrums and production practices,” Zurliene says. “Yet, they
still share some common ground — they maximize their yield
potential by using Poncho 250 or Poncho 1250 for broad-spectrum
insect protection.”
