Walnut Creek, California

Valent U.S.A. Corporation announced that Select Max®
Herbicide with Inside Technology™ will again be a part of
Monsanto’s Roundup Rewards® Program in 2007. This year the
program, which was available for Midwest farmers in 2006, will
also be offered to Select Max users in Alabama, Arkansas,
Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina,
Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and West
Virginia.
In 2007, Roundup Ready® soybean farmers will continue to have
even more insurance to protect their investment against
volunteer Roundup Ready corn when they use Select Max® Herbicide
with Inside Technology™. But this insurance they can take to the
bank—literally.
Farmers who use Select Max with Roundup WeatherMAX® will receive
$2.60 off per acre; farmers who use Select Max with Roundup
Original MAX™ will receive $1.30 off per acre—making Select Max
an economical solution with the best performance for the farmer.
In 2007, two additional products have been added to the Roundup
Rewards program—Harness® Herbicide or Degree® Herbicide. Farmers
who use Harness® Herbicide or Degree® Herbicide on their Roundup
Ready corn along with Select Max and Roundup Original MAX™ or
Roundup WeatherMAX® on their soybeans can earn an additional
$1.30 off per acre. The potential savings in 2007 with this
program is as high as $3.90 per acre.
In addition to the economic value, farmers who rotate their
fields from Roundup Ready corn to Roundup Ready soybeans know
that a “one-two punch” of Roundup with another product for
volunteer corn, such as Select Max, is a critical element of a
thorough crop protection program.
“Select Max is a proven tank mix partner with Roundup® brands,”
said Joe Short, Select Max product manager for Valent. “In
addition to its tank mix flexibility, studies show Select Max
delivers fast and complete kill of volunteer corn and grasses
and offers a wide application window.”

Gangster® Herbicide, Cobra® Herbicide, Orthene® Insecticide,
