Bo-Jac Seed Company, a leading regional seed company based
in Illinois, is teaming up with
Bayer CropScience
to offer growers an opportunity to earn up to $6.25 back per
acre when they apply Liberty® herbicide to their Bo-Jac
stand-alone LibertyLink™ hybrids and Herculex® hybrids.
The Liberty/LibertyLink system is the only non-selective
alternative to the Roundup Ready® system 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 wanted to bring another weed-control option to our growers
and add flexibility to their herbicide program,” says Tim
Scroggin, Bo-Jac president. “The Liberty/LibertyLink system
offers flexibility; plus, it combines great weed control with
great genetics.”
The 32 oz/acre rate of Liberty controls up to 120 tough grasses
and broadleaf weeds — that includes glyphosate-resistant and
tolerant weeds and even Roundup Ready volunteers. Liberty is a
non-selective herbicide that 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 stand-alone LibertyLink hybrids and Herculex
hybrids from Bo-Jac, up to $6.25 back per acre.
“This partnership will provide growers with the opportunity to
implement the LibertyLink system at a better value than ever
before,” says Scott Besse, Bayer CropScience district manager.
The LibertyLink trait is available in all Herculex and Agrisure™
CB/LL hybrids.
