Select Seed Hybrids has
teamed up with Bayer
CropScience to offer growers an opportunity to earn up to
$6.25 back per acre when they apply Liberty® herbicide on
Herculex® hybrids.
Select Seed is a seed company owned and managed by a corn
breeder. Kevin Eggerling. Select Seed general manager, says they
offer its growers a large variety of technologies from four
different companies, including Herculex hybrids.
The Liberty/LibertyLink® system is the only non-selective
alternative to Roundup Ready® and offers growers similar
convenience, ease and cost effectiveness. Liberty herbicide has
a unique mode of action, and there is no documented weed
resistance worldwide.
“We decided to participate in the Greenback Program to provide
more value to customers,” Eggerling says. “It provides growers a
reduction in their herbicide and seed costs, and it’s an
alternative to a Roundup program.”
The 32 oz/acre rate of Liberty controls up to 120 tough grasses
and broadleaf weeds ¬— that includes glyphosate-resistant and
tolerant weeds. Liberty is effective on tough-to-control weeds
such as woolly cupgrass, waterhemp, cocklebur, lambsquarter,
foxtail, velvetleaf and many others.
The Liberty Greenback Offer gives growers who use Liberty
herbicide on Herculex hybrids from Select Seed, up to $6.25 back
per acre.
“This program allows growers the opportunity to break the
resistance when using the Liberty/LibertyLink system at a
greater value than ever before,” says Don McAghon, Bayer
CropScience seed treatment and technology representative.
The LibertyLink trait is available in all Herculex and Agrisure™
CB/LL hybrids.
