PLANT BIOTECHNOLOGY HELPS BOOST PRODUCTIVITY

The application of biotechnology in agriculture has resulted in benets for both producers and consumers. For example, genetically engineered insect-resistant cotton has allowed for a signicant reduction in the use of insecticides. Similarly, herbicide-tolerant soybeans, cotton, canola and corn have enabled improved weed control and use of herbicides with greater margins of safety. Herbicide-tolerant crops help preserve topsoil from erosion by permitting use of no-till or reduced-tillage agriculture systems.1 Bayer CropScience is among the industry leaders in research, investing more than 50percent of research and development dollars toward the development of new seed and trait products. Additionally, our research is augmented by numerous cooperative agreements with researchpartners.

INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT
As dened by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is an effective and environmentally sensitive approach to pest management that relies on a combination of common-sense practices. Successful IPM programs rely on current, comprehensive information on the life cycles of pests and their interaction with the environment. This information, in combination with available pest control methods, is used to manage pest damage by the most economical means while minimizing hazards to people, property and the environment. IPM applies to all pests diseases, weeds and insects and should be an important component of every growers operation. recommendations of appropriate local experts (Extension or consultant) and the Integrated Weed Management (IWM) recommendations detailed in this manual. All IPM programs have several characteristics in common. They include some type of pest monitoring, reliable identication of pests disease, weed or insect good record keeping, intervention to reduce pest numbers and program performance evaluation. Managing pests starts ideally at the end of every growing season, when growers evaluate crop performance and management tactics. Where appropriate, good stalk destruction will minimize the opportunities for pests to overwinter. The end of the season is also a good time to assess elds for potential problems, such as surviving weeds or severe

PE S T

M A N AG E M E NT

Scouting crops for key pests is essential. Growers must be aware of the growth stages of weeds, disease pressure and insect populations to make good decisions. Fields should be monitored on a consistent basis at least once per week and more frequently when the pest threat is higher, such as when the bollworm egg deposition in cotton is at its peak.

In addition, the following IWM techniques are effective in reducing problems with herbicidetolerant and/or herbicide-resistant weed biotypes. It is best to use multiple practices to manage or delay resistance, as no single strategy is likely to be totally effective.

Take every opportunity to stop surviving weeds from producing seed. This will reduce the soil seed bank and the selection pressure, slowing the development of resistant weeds.
INTEGRATED WEED MANAGEMENT
Bayer takes weed management very seriously, which includes our Respect the Rotation initiative. It elevates the importance and grower adoption of herbicide diversity through the rotation of crops, traits and MOAs. Rotate crops. Crop rotation diversies weed management tools. Rotate herbicide-tolerant traits. Alternate herbicide-tolerant traits and/or use herbicidetolerant trait stacks for more efcient herbiciderotation. Rotate modes of action. Reduce the selection pressure of a single MOA by using multiple MOAs both during the growing season and from year to year. Indicators of Potential Weed Resistance  A patch of weeds occurs in the same area year after year and is spreading.  Dead weeds appear next to surviving weeds after the same herbicide application.  Many weed species are managed, but one particular weed species is no longer controlled. Forexample, following a glyphosate application, actively growing marestail can still be seen in the absence of other weeds.  The eld has been sprayed repeatedly with the same herbicide MOA, particularly if there was no MOA diversity in the weed management system.
6

1. Know Your Weeds, Know Your Fields Todays herbicides control a broad spectrum of weed species, which minimizes the importance of weed identication. However, proper identication of weed species will help pinpoint which herbicide program will work best on every acre. It is equally important to understand the weed pressure and history within each eld. Closely monitor problematic areas with difcult-to-control weeds or dense weed populations. Scout for weed escapes and look for the indicators listed below to identify resistant weeds.

What Bayer is doing really ties into the university message because it talks about utilizing different herbicide modes of action and also rotating traits in a way that keeps a sustainable focus on our crop production and weed management. Utilizing one herbicide, one mode of action or one technology only leads us down the path where we lose that product or that technology for future use.
Wes Everman, North Carolina State University

INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT INPRACTICE

Good IPM programs are designed such that all methods of pest suppression are utilized. Overreliance on any one pest suppression tool, such as a biotechnology trait, will lead to problems such as weed or insect resistance. Growers are advised to follow agronomic best management practices, coupled with IPM

weed, insect or disease pressure. Rotations of crops and pesticide modes of action (MOA), in addition to other IPM practices, are powerful tools for managing such problems and delaying the onset of resistance. By the start of the growing season, growers should have most of their IPM program in place. Biotechnology traits perform best when the crop is growing well and environmental stress is low. Good hybrid or variety selection, recommended seeding rates, planting dates and planting depths can all promote plant health and thus, optimal traitperformance.

4. Apply Herbicides Correctly Counties with conrmed glyphosate-resistant weed species: 2 Glyphosate-Resistant Weed Species Conrmed in the U.S. - Common ragweed - Common waterhemp - Giant ragweed - Goosegrass - Horseweed (marestail) - Johnsongrass - Kochia - Palmer amaranth - Ryegrass spp. Product efcacy is inuenced by a multitude of factors. Ensuring proper application maximizes weed control and minimizes potential for weedescapes. Apply to Actively Growing Weeds. Herbicides provide peak performance when applied to small, actively growing weeds. These weeds absorb more of the active ingredient, particularly with adequate soil moisture, sunlight and optimal soil nutrients.

seed production. Consider spot herbicide applications, row wicking, cultivation, hand removal of weeds or other techniques that stop seed production to improve weed management for the subsequent growing seasons. 6. Zero Tolerance Reduce The Seed Bank Do not allow surviving weeds to set seed in order to decrease weed population shifts year after year. Ensure that weeds are controlled up to the edge of the eld and discourage weed seed production on eld borders. One Palmer amaranth plant can produce up to 1 million seeds per plant in optimal conditions.3 Therefore, the weed seed bank grows by allowing partially controlled weeds to reproduce and set seed. Creating a larger pool of weed seed in the soil seed bank increases the probability weed resistance will arise. 7. Clean Equipment Avoid moving equipment that has not been thoroughly cleaned to prevent the spread of herbicide-resistant weeds and their seeds and to reduce the potential to introduce new invasive weeds onto uninfested acres.

2. Start Clean Yields can be reduced signicantly by early season weed competition. Effective tillage or the use of a burndown herbicide program can control emerged weeds prior to planting. Regardless of the tillage system (conventional, minimal or no-till), a pre-emergence or early postemergence soil-applied residual herbicide should be a part of every weed control program. 3. Stay Clean Use Overlapping ResidualHerbicides In any weed management program, the goal should be to control at least 80 percent of the weed population with residual herbicides. Residual herbicides applied at burndown, planting or tankmixed in the rst post application with Liberty herbicide help ensure optimal weed management, particularly if environmental conditions delay timely post applications. Residual herbicides also can reduce early season weed competition and are a key element of good weed resistance management practices.

Under intense weed pressure, use overlapping residual herbicides to minimize weed competition for soil moisture, light and nutrients. Maintain soil residual herbicide activity with overlapping soil residual herbicide applications from burndown through canopy closure. This reduces weed selection pressure and helps avoid weedescapes.

Timing. Apply postemergence herbicides soon after crop emergence when weeds are no more than 3 to 4 inches tall. This is typically 10 to 14 days after crop emergence. The use of pre-emergence residual herbicides provides critical control of early season weeds that result in the greatest crop yield reduction. Plus, residual herbicides help ensure optimal weed management, particularly if environmental conditions delay timely postapplications. Application Technique. Herbicides differ in application guidelines. Read and follow all label instructions to ensure proper application. Factors affecting weed control include: spray coverage, carrier volume, application speed, adjuvants and tankmix partners. Product Rate. The rate listed on the product label has been researched and tested by manufacturers and university researchers to provide optimal control of weeds at the height listed on the label. When you apply a herbicide at a rate less than listed on the label, the result can be insufcient control that will have a signicant impact on the immediate weed development and resistance risk. 5. Do Not Allow Weed Escapes Treat every weed escape as if it is a resistant weed. Problematic weeds that escape herbicide applications should be controlled to reduce weed

INTEGRATED WEED MANAGEMENT SUMMARY

Overreliance on a single weed control method causes resistant weeds to develop. It also adds to the risk of the consequential loss of a particular herbicide-tolerant system, and may eventually jeopardize the ability to grow a specic crop in a specic eld. Growers face additional costs to control resistant weeds through unplanned herbicide applications, intense manual labor, and in extreme cases, total crop loss. Work preemptively through IWM practices for successful management of a resistant weedpopulation.

LIBERTY HERBICIDE
Liberty herbicide plus the LibertyLink trait is the preeminent weed management system for hard-to-control weeds. Use Liberty herbicide with the LibertyLink trait as part of an Integrated Weed Management (IWM)system. Liberty herbicide with the LibertyLink trait allows growers to spray Liberty in-crop for nonselective postemergence control of the toughest weeds, including Palmer amaranth, giant ragweed, waterhemp andmarestail. Spray Liberty, with its unique mode of action, early to control weeds quickly before they jeopardize yieldpotential. Liberty herbicide with the LibertyLink trait provides efcient weed management that enables nonselective and selective herbiciderotation. Liberty is a contact-based herbicide that requires good coverage for maximum weed controlefcacy. Rainfast in four hours, Liberty works fast, controlling weeds within days versus weeks, under favorable growing conditions. Weeds that emerge after the application will not be controlled, but adding a herbicide tankmix partner for residual control can help keep elds cleanlonger. For best results, apply Liberty to young, actively growing weeds to eliminate them quickly and reduce the chance that they will rob crops of yieldpotential. Warm temperatures, high humidity and bright sunlight improve the performance of Liberty. In dry climates, take advantage of early morning humidity by making spray applications during that time. Additionally, spraying Liberty within two hours of sunset could result in reduced velvetleaf and lambsquarterscontrol. Liberty activity is optimized when daytime temperatures reach at least 60 degrees and relative humidity is at least 30 percent. Apply Liberty at 15 gallons per acre (GPA) with nozzles and pressure that produce a medium-size spray droplet to ensure maximum herbicideperformance.

H E R B I C I D E

HOW TO SPRAY
As a contact herbicide, follow application guidelines to ensure adequate coverage and maximum weed control. 1. Apply early when weeds are no more than 3to 4 inches tall. 2. Use nozzles and pressure that generate a medium-size spraydroplet. 3. Apply Liberty at 15 GPA of water; increase water if dense weed canopyexists. 4. Apply at ground speed of less than 15 mph to attain adequatecoverage. 5. Apply when wind speeds are less than 10 mph. 6. Add ammonium sulfate (AMS) at 1.5 lb/A (8.5 lb per 100 gal) to 3 lb/A (17 lb per 100 gal).* Rates are dependent on conditions. 7. Add tankmix partner.

Mixing Instructions: 1. Start with properly calibrated and cleanedequipment. 2. Fill spray tank half full with water. 3. Start agitation. 4. Add AMS to spray tank. 5. Add tankmix partner. 6. Complete lling spray tank with water. 7. Add Liberty herbicide and continue agitation. 8. If foaming occurs, use a silicone-based antifoamagent.

 Liberty herbicide certainly provides an alternative to other technologies and herbicides. Any technology and herbicide needs to be used appropriately to optimize and maintain its effectiveness. Following label guidelines is very important to achieve goodresults.
Dallas Peterson, Kansas State University

* Research has consistently shown AMS with Liberty herbicide improves weed control. AMS is especially needed for difcult-to-control weeds, like velvetleaf and lambsquarters, under difcult environmental conditions (low relative humidity) or hard water.

Key Points to Remember:  Thorough coverage is essential to achieve maximum herbicide performance.  Select nozzles and operating pressure that produce medium spray droplets and deliver at least 15GPA. If a dense canopy is present, increase the water volume to 20 GPA and maintain a medium spray droplet to increase efcacy.  Nozzle manufacturers provide recommendations for nozzles that meet the medium specications of ASABE S-572 standard.

15 x 10 x 20 = 0.505 = 0.51 GPM 5940

Use GPM = 0.51 to select the appropriate size nozzle from nozzle catalog, tech sheet or website. Below are some nozzles that will deliver 0.51 GPM to produce medium spray droplets.

THE LIBERTYLINK TRAIT INSOYBEANS
The LibertyLink system provides excellent weed control and preserves the yield of high-performingvarieties. LibertyLink soybeans allow growers to spray Liberty herbicide in-crop for nonselective postemergence control of the toughest weeds, including Palmer amaranth, giant ragweed, waterhemp andmarestail. With a unique mode of action (MOA), Liberty allows growers to control weeds within days, not weeks, under favorableconditions.

APPLICATION INFORMATION & BEST WEED MANAGEMENT PRACTICES

Hard-to-control weeds are a serious threat to row crop production. Intensive management is required to control the toughest weeds, especially driver weeds such as Palmer amaranth. Use all practical means to avoid any escaped weeds going to seed in or around elds. Use of robust herbicide rates, multiple modes of action and overlapping soil-applied residual herbicides from burndown through canopy closure are importantpractices. Proper stewardship of Liberty herbicide is necessary to ensure the long-term sustainability of LibertyLink technology. Rotating crops, traits and MOAs allows for diversity within a herbicide program and sustains the longevity of any given herbicide chemistry. Use cultural, mechanical and chemical weed control methods as necessary to ensure weeds do not produce viable seed and to prevent weed escapes from going to seed and depositing in the seed bank. Multiple practices to manage tough-to-control weeds are essential, as no single strategy is totallyeffective.

WHERE YOU CAN FIND LIBERTYLINKSOYBEANS

Bayer CropScience has broadly licensed the LibertyLink trait to combine high-yielding genetics with the powerful, nonselective postemergence weed control ofLiberty. With soybean seed available through more than 100 seed companies, growers can manage their weed pressures with LibertyLink varieties that t their growing conditions. Bayer CropScience continues to collaborate with leading soybean breeding programs to develop high-yielding LibertyLink soybean varieties for growers in the United States and Canada. Varieties developed are widely adapted and demonstrate yield and agronomic performance as good as or better than the best available commercialchecks.

1. Start Clean:Start with a clean, weed-free eld by using an effective burndown application or conventionaltillage. 2. Stay Clean:Use an Overlapping Residual Weed Control Program. Be aggressive with early season weed management to avoid yield loss and weed escapes. Residual herbicides applied at burndown, pre-emergence and/or tankmixed in the rst post application help ensure optimal weed management, particularly if environmental conditions delay timely post applications. Apply a broad-spectrum pre-emergence or PPI residual herbicide such as: AuthorityAssist(2*,14), AuthorityFirst(2,14), Enlite(2,14), Envive(2,14), metolachlor(15), metribuzin(5), Prex(14,15), Sonic(2,14), Valor(14), ValorXLT(2,14) or Warrant(15). Consider expected weed species and populations, as well as environmental variables in the area, when selecting a residualherbicide. 3. Scenario One Residual Used Pre-emergence, PPI or At Planting: a. Apply Liberty at 29 oz/A over the top of LibertyLink soybeans from emergence to 14 days after crop emergence or when weeds are no more than 3 inches to 4 inchestall. b. Apply Liberty at 29 oz/A on an as-needed basis following the rst application at29 oz/A.

4. Scenario Two Environmental Conditions Prevent Timely Application: a. If environmental conditions prevent timely Liberty application, a single application of up to 36 oz/A may be made. b. If 36 oz/A is used for the rst application, a second application of 29 oz/A should be made at least 10 days after the rst application. Increase water and shorten interval between post applications if canopy isheavy. 5. Additives:Ammonium sulfate (AMS) can be used at a rate of 1.5 lb/A to 3 lb/A**. Rates are dependent on conditions. 6. Water Volume:Liberty is a contact herbicide that requires good coverage with medium-size droplets applied at a minimum of 15 GPA watervolume. If dense canopy, large weeds or unfavorable growing conditions are present, increase water volume to a minimum of20 GPA. 7. Maximum Seasonal Use:Up to 65 oz/A of Liberty can be applied on soybeans per growingseason. 8. Additional Use Directions: a. Make all Liberty applications at least 70 days before soybeanharvest. b. Make all Liberty applications before soybeans begin to bloom.

YIELD LOSS DUE TO COMPETITION

Weeds that emerge with the crop, or shortly thereafter, have the greatest potential to negatively affect yields. The yield loss associated with this ush of weeds is strongly inuenced by how long weeds are allowed to remain in the eld and compete with crops for light, water andnutrients. Residual herbicides can improve weed control, reduce problematic weeds and extend the time period between planting and the rst postemergence treatment of Liberty herbicide. This allows for exibility when weather conditions prevent timely postemergence applications. Additionally, using a residual herbicide in your weed control program introduces another herbicide MOA in the eld, improving your weed management program. According to a 2010 University of Tennessee study 4, cotton and soybean growers lost nearly $138 million due to glyphosate-resistant Palmer amaranth. Their weed control costs also increased as follows: $78.5 million in increased herbicide costs -- $35 per acre on 1.6 million soybean acres -- $55 per acre on 0.4 million cotton acres $10 million in increased application costs -- $5 per acre on 2 million acres

the study shows there is a 2 percent yield loss for every soybean leaf-stage delay in applying a nonselective herbicide to the crop during the critical time for weed removal.

YIELD LOSS EXAMPLES

Studies out of North Carolina State University and the University of Georgia6 in 2012 show soybean yield loss of as much as 68 percent as a result of Palmer amaranth interference at a density of one plant per square foot. $/Bushel $11 Lost $/A from Palmer amaranth* Lost $/1,000A from Palmer amaranth* $374 $12 $408 $13 $442

THE LIBERTYLINK TRAIT IN CORN
The LibertyLink system provides excellent weed control and preserves the yield of high-performinghybrids. LibertyLink corn hybrids are available in elite genetics for top yields, including all Herculex, SmartStax and Agrisure hybrids with corn borer protection, as well as in-bag refuge products Genuity SmartStax RIB Complete, Refuge Advanced powered by SmartStax and Optimum AcreMax 1. Residual herbicides (such as atrazine, Laudis, Corvus and Capreno), in addition to timely applications of Liberty, are strongly recommended in a LibertyLink weed controlprogram. Crops with the LibertyLink trait allow growers to spray Liberty in-crop for nonselective postemergence control of the toughest weeds, including Palmer amaranth, giant ragweed, waterhemp andmarestail. With a unique mode of action, Liberty allows growers to control weeds within days, not weeks, under favorableconditions. Liberty can be tankmixed with most other crop protection products labeled for use incorn. All LibertyLink corn hybrids have built-in tolerance to Liberty herbicide, while maintaining excellent crop safety, performance and yield. These hybrids are fully approved for food, feed and cultivation in the United States and Canada. LibertyLink corn is approved for export to many countries around the world. Today, this trait is widely available in high-yielding hybrids from elite germplasm providers. LibertyLink corn is ideal for U.S. growers, whether on rotated acreage or in aggressive corn-on-corn productionsystems.

Where to Find LibertyLink Corn

Herculex hybrids that come stacked with the LibertyLink trait are available in the following versions:  Herculex I (HX1), which provides protection against European corn borer, Southwestern corn borer, black cutworm, fall armyworm, Western bean cutworm, lesser cornstalk borer, Southern cornstalk borer and sugarcane borer.  Herculex Rootworm (HXRW) protects against Northern, Western, and Mexican cornrootworms.  Herculex XTRA (HXX) is a stacked-trait product that combines the aboveground insectprotection of HX1 with the belowground protection of HXRW. Optimum AcreMax products offer single-bag integrated refuge in a variety of options to t a wide range of situations. Many specic Optimum AcreMax systems are available in two different versions one that includes LibertyLink in 100 percent of the seeds in the bag and can be sprayed with Liberty herbicide, and another that cannot be sprayed with Liberty herbicide. All Optimum AcreMax products with an -R sufx are NOT 100percent LibertyLink and should not be sprayed with Liberty herbicide.  Optimum AcreMax 1 (AM1), Optimum AcreMax RW (AMRW), Optimum AcreMax (AM), Optimum AcreMax Xtra (AMX) and Optimum AcreMax XTreme (AMXT) have the LibertyLink trait in 100 percent of the seeds in the bag and can be sprayed over the top with Libertyherbicide.  Optimum AcreMax RW-R (AMRW-R), Optimum AcreMax-R (AM-R) and Optimum AcreMax Xtra-R (AMX-R) do NOT have the LibertyLink trait in 100 percent of the seeds in the bag and should NOT be sprayed over the top with Liberty herbicide. Agrisure hybrids with corn borer protection also come stacked with the LibertyLink trait in the following products:  Agrisure CB/LL protects against European corn borer and Southwestern corn borer and provides suppression of corn earworm, fall armyworm and Southern cornstalkborer.  Agrisure CB/LL/RW hybrids combine the aboveground insect protection of AgrisureCB with the belowground protection of Agrisure RW.  Agrisure 300GT is a quad stack that combines the aboveground insect protection of Agrisure CB with belowground protection of Agrisure RW, plus resistance to both glyphosate and Liberty herbicides.  Agrisure Viptera 3111 offers the broadest available spectrum of above- and belowground insect control.  Agrisure Viptera 3110 offers unparalleled control of aboveground insects for growers who do not need to manage for corn rootworm. SmartStax hybrids also come stacked with the LibertyLink trait in the following products:  Genuity SmartStax corn offers broad-spectrum above- and belowground insect protection, plus LibertyLink and Roundup Ready herbicide tolerance.  Genuity SmartStax RIB Complete corn blend is a single-bag refuge solution with broad-spectrum above- and belowground insect protection, plus LibertyLink and Roundup Ready herbicide tolerance.  Refuge Advanced powered by SmartStax also offers a single-bag refuge solution with the same above- and belowground protection of SmartStax, including LibertyLink and Roundup Ready herbicide tolerance traits.

LIBERTY UTILITY IN Bt CORN REFUGE

To preserve the efcacy of Bt corn technology, government regulations require growers to implement an Insect Resistance Management (IRM) plan. A proper IRM plan includes a non-Bt refuge planted in conjunction with Bt corn acres to prevent insect resistance to thetechnology. Selecting a Bt refuge hybrid for any of the previously mentioned LibertyLink Bt hybrids will allow for the use of Liberty herbicide across the entire area, enabling growers to obtain the full value and convenience of the LibertyLink trait. If a suitable LibertyLink hybrid is not available, conguring the refuge area in a separate eld, or in a contiguous block within the same eld as the Bt hybrid, will allow Liberty to be used for weed control in the Bt hybrid area. It is imperative that the location where each hybrid is planted is clearly documented and marked, either on a GPS map or with ags or markers in the eld, to help ensure that Liberty is sprayed only on elds planted with LibertyLinkhybrids. For more detailed information on refuge options and acceptable congurations for specic Bt products, consult with your seed seller or Bt traitprovider.

BAYER RESIDUAL HERBICIDEOFFERINGS
Bayer CropScience provides strong residual herbicide options both pre-emergence and postemergence to complement Liberty herbicide in a LibertyLink corn program. Pre-emergence Herbicides: Corvus (2, 27*) pre-emergence corn herbicide provides consistent, broad spectrum control of grass and broadleaf weeds for a full season at just 5.6 oz/A. Corvus delivers rapid burndown, long-lasting residual control and reactivation for dependable weed control. It can be used in traditional herbicide programs, as well as in a program that pairs trait technology with a nonselective herbicide, such as Liberty orRoundup. Balance Flexx (27) pre-emergence corn herbicide is an excellent set-up product in a sequential program with Liberty herbicide. Using Balance Flexx as the foundation for a two-pass herbicide program gives corn growers an excellent combination of tough weed control and weed resistance management with crop safety andexibility. Postemergence Herbicides: Bayer CropScience also offers effective postemergence herbicides for a conventional program or as a tankmix partner in a herbicidetolerant system. Postemergence residual options toconsider: Capreno (2, 27) post-applied corn herbicide. Capreno has the longest-lasting residual available in a postemergence herbicide and combines two active ingredients for complete control of more than 65 grass and broadleaf weeds, including those resistant to glyphosate, with just 3 oz/A. Apply Capreno early (V1-V5) with Liberty to get the full benet of a season-longresidual. Laudis (27) postemergence corn herbicide, with its powerful weed control and unsurpassed crop safety, provides in-season residual control in a tankmix withLiberty.

Crops with the LibertyLink trait allow growers to spray Liberty in-crop for nonselective postemergence control of the toughest weeds, including Palmer amaranth, giant ragweed, waterhemp and marestail. With a unique mode of action (MOA), Liberty allows growers to control weeds within days, not weeks, under favorable conditions.

TwinLink will be available as a GlyTol LibertyLink TwinLink (GLT) trait package, which provides two Bt genes plus full tolerance to Liberty herbicide and glyphosate. This trait package is a powerful tool for high-level caterpillar control and offers two choices for over-the-top, broad-spectrum herbicide applications. GLT gives growers the exibility to choose the herbicide applications that best t their cotton-growing conditions and farm management practices. Growers have the ability to rotate herbicide MOAs to control weeds effectively and reduce the potential of weedresistance.

TwinLink produces two insecticidal Bt proteins, Cry1Ab and Cry2Ae, with independent actions for highly effective control of key leaf- and fruit-feeding lepidopteran pests. These novel Bt genes protect against a wide range of worm pests to help cotton growers maximize yield potential and berquality. It is anticipated that the rst varieties with TwinLink will be available in both FiberMax and Stoneville brands in the United States beginning in 2014, pending international import approvals.

THE GLYTOL LIBERTYLINK TRAIT STACK IN COTTON

GlyTol LibertyLink (GL) technology in cotton brings an industry rst the ability for growers to make over-the-top applications of either Liberty herbicide or glyphosate with full commercial tolerance to both herbicides. This innovation provides even greater exibility in weed management and management of glyphosate-resistant weeds. GL-traited cotton also protects against the potential for damage due to off-target movement of Liberty or glyphosate from nearbyelds.

INSEED TRAIT IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM The InSeed trait identication system consists of the following traits, easily identied on bags appropriate for each unique need. HERBICIDE TOLERANCE This icon illustrates herbicide tolerance and indicates which herbicides can be used. LibertyLink indicates that the herbicide Liberty can be applied to cotton. GlyTol indicates that glyphosate herbicides can be sprayed. When LibertyLink and GlyTol are indicated, it means that both Liberty and glyphosate herbicides can be used in a program, conferring a double herbicide-tolerant property to cotton. INSECT RESISTANCE This icon illustrates insect resistance. TwinLink is a new Bayer CropScience insect resistance product providing two-gene insect-resistant protection against Lepidopteran pests (budworm/bollworm complex). In the future, other pests (aphids, Lygus, etc.) will be controlled by new traits. HERBICIDE TOLERANCE/INSECT RESISTANCE The insect resistance icon paired with the herbicide tolerance icon indicates that this cottonseed has both properties. GlyTol and LibertyLink stacked with TwinLink provides two-gene insect-resistant protection and double herbicide tolerance.

TWINLINK TRAIT STACK IN COTTON

TwinLink cotton technology combines season-long Bt protection against worm pests with powerful weed management technology. It contains two Bayer proprietary Bt genes that provide effective management of major lepidopteran pests such as tobacco budworm, pink bollworm, cotton bollworm, fall armyworm and beet armyworm. TwinLink also confers full tolerance to Liberty herbicide to control a wide range of broadleaf and grassweeds.

YIELD LOSS DUE TO COMPETITION

Weeds that emerge with the crop, or shortly thereafter, have the greatest potential to adversely impact yields. The yield loss associated with this ush of weeds is strongly inuenced by how long weeds are allowed to remain in the eld and compete with crops for light, water and nutrients. Weed scientists state that effective weed control during the rst nine weeks after emergence is critical to produce optimum cotton yields. Residual herbicides improve weed control, reduce problematic weeds and extend the time period between planting and the rst postemergence treatment of Liberty herbicide. Furthermore, the use of residual herbicides increases application exibility in case of unfavorable weather conditions. Use a residual herbicide in your weed control program to introduce another herbicide MOA in the eld and enhance your weed management program.

Conrmed GlyphosateResistant Weeds

According to a 2010 University of Tennessee study 4, cotton and soybean growers lost nearly $138 million due to glyphosate-resistant Palmer amaranth. Their weed control costs also increased as follows: $78.5 million in increased herbicide costs -- $35 per acre on 1.6 million soybean acres -- $55 per acre on 0.4 million cotton acres $10 million in increased application costs -- $5 per acre on 2 million acres $49.35 million due to glyphosate-resistant weed competition -- 30 percent of soybean acres at 17 percent loss -- 15 percent of cotton acres at 25 percent loss

1 If more than 29 oz/A is used in any single application, the season total may not exceed 72 oz/A, including all application timings. 2 For best control, do not apply before weeds reach 6 inches tall. 3 Sequential applications may be needed for populations of weeds with mixedheights. 4 Treat prior to tiller.

THE LIBERTYLINK TRAIT INCANOLA
InVigor hybrids carry the LibertyLink trait, which provides built-in tolerance to Libertyherbicide. InVigor canola hybrids with the LibertyLink trait are top performers, known for outstanding yield and strong early season growth. They consistently deliver superior crop establishment, uniform maturity and greater harvestability over many other hybrids. InVigor canola hybrids are developed from high-yielding, strong-performing, elite germplasm, which results in stable and consistent performance in theeld. The LibertyLink system provides excellent weed control and preserves the yield of high-performinghybrids. Crops with the LibertyLink trait allow growers to spray Liberty in-crop for nonselective postemergence control of the toughest weeds, including Palmer amaranth, giant ragweed, waterhemp, kochia and marestail. With a unique mode of action (MOA), Liberty allows growers to control weeds within days, not weeks, under favorableconditions.

CA N O L A

We have to have 100 percent weed control zero tolerance. We have to kill every weed by whatever means is possible thats economic, environmental and ethical, or were going to only run into more problems.
Jeff Stachler, North Dakota State University and University of Minnesota 1. Start Clean:Start with a clean, weed-free eld by using an effective burndown application or conventionaltillage. 2. Stay Clean:Be aggressive with early season weed management to avoid yield loss and weed escapes. Residual herbicides help ensure optimal weed management, particularly if environmental conditions delay timely postapplications. 3. Scenario Post Canola Emergence: a. Apply Liberty at 22 oz/A over the top of InVigor canola from emergence to 10 days after crop emergence or when weeds are no more than 3 inches to 4 inchestall. b. Apply Liberty at 22 oz/acre on an as-needed basis following the rst application at 22 oz/A. If sequential applications are planned, apply the second application 10 days after the rstapplication. 4. Additives:Ammonium sulfate (AMS) can be used at a rate of 3 lbs/A*. Use 1.5 lb/A when tankmixed with the grass herbicides specied in the tankmix section. 5. Water Volume:Liberty is a contact herbicide that requires good coverage with medium-size droplets applied at a minimum of 15 GPA water volume. If dense canopy, large weeds or unfavorable conditions are present increase water volume to a minimum of 20 GPA. 6. Maximum Seasonal Use:Up to 44 oz/A of Liberty can be applied on canola per growingseason. 7. Additional Use Directions: a. Liberty herbicide should be applied when winds are less than 10 mph, and not during periods of temperature inversions. b. Maximum season use rate: 44 oz/A. c. Do not use in the states of AL, DE, GA, KY, MD, NJ, NC, SC, TN, VA and WV. d. Apply prior to 65 days before harvest. e. Do not graze treated crop or cut for hay. f. Consult product label for full use directions andrestrictions.

YIELD LOSS DUE TO COMPETITION

Early season weed control is critical. Residual herbicides can improve weed control, reduce problematic weeds and extend the time period between planting and the rst postemergence treatment of Liberty. This allows for much needed exibility when weather conditions prevent timely postemergence applications. Additionally, using a residual herbicide in your weed control program introduces another herbicide MOA in the eld, improving your weed managementprogram.
