Growers who purchase both
Oberon and Stratego can qualify for Growing Strong Rewards
Program points
Corn growers may be eligible to
earn at least $1 per acre when protecting their crops with
Bayer CropScience
Oberon® 4SC miticide/ insecticide and Stratego® fungicide.
Via the Oberon 4SC-Stratego Pair Up Program, growers must use a
minimum of 300 acres of Oberon 4SC miticide/insecticide and
Stratego fungicide to qualify for at least $1 per acre back in
Growing Strong™ Rewards Program points. The program is paid out
on matched acres based on 4 oz/acre of Oberon 4SC and 10 oz/acre
of Stratego.
All corn growers in Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, Minnesota,
Oklahoma and Texas who qualify for the Growing Strong Rewards
Program and use Oberon 4SC on matching acres with Stratego
qualify for the Oberon 4SC-Stratego Pair Up Program.
Oberon 4SC offers long-lasting activity on all mite stages in
corn, while giving growers the flexibility to monitor corn
fields to spray when necessary. It also provides residual
control of problem pests while being soft on beneficial insects.
Additionally, the two modes of action in Stratego protect corn
plants from a broad spectrum of yield-robbing diseases. With
XLerate™ technology, Stratego helps supercharge the natural
growth cycle of corn, helping plants stay greener, lusher, more
robust and stand longer into the growing season.
“When growers choose to ‘pair up’ with Oberon and Stratego, they
not only get protection from both mites and diseases for their
corn, they have the opportunity to earn additional Growing
Strong points,” says Jon Mixson, Bayer CropScience insecticides
and plant growth regulators brand manager.
The Pair Up Program currently runs through October 31, 2008. To
enroll in the program, growers should call 1-877-976-8286. For
