2017: A Year in Review

What did we learn? 1) Weed resistance and pressure is as high as it’s ever been 2) Glyphosate is not enough3) Dicamba isn’t a perfect solution

Cost of Resistance

6

• “In soybeans, we estimate it now costs $35 per acre for herbicides above what growers would have spent with Roundup. That’s $56 million in additional herbicide costs. Increased herbicide application costs add another $8 million. With a 17 percent yield loss for average 35-acre soybeans, that’s another $40 million. That’s a loss of $104 million for soybeans alone, and that’s a conservative estimate.” Dr. Larry Steckel - Associate Professor at the University of Tennessee1

• Herbicide resistance costs farmers $20 to $60 or more per acre, according to a 2016 study by USDA’s Economic Research Service

Key Measures of Integrated Weed Management

• Tillage

• Plowing

• Cultivating

• Later sowing

• Clean seed

• Seed Destruction

• Alternation of:

- Monocot crops and dicot crops

- Winter and summer crops

• Different MOAs

• Sequence/mixtures

• Full dose rates

• Pre-seed control with non-selective herbicides

LibertyLink, The Simply Better Solution

LibertyLink is the highest rated soybean trait system for 20171

The simply better solution for optimizing yields –excellent genetics and superior weed control with the peace of mind from a nonvolatile product.

Leading genetics delivering 2+ bu/A advantage over AsgrowRR2Xtend soybeans.

The solution that is more convenient to use, nonvolatile, and neighbor friendly – it stays on target (when used according to label instructions) so you can focus on the things that matter.

Proven and tested 98% control of key glyphosate and PPO resistant driver weeds including Palmer Amaranth, Waterhemp, Kochia and Marestail when part of a complete program. Only working non-selective with broad spectrum broadleaf and grass control.

Excellent Yield performance

Superior Weed Control

Peace of Mind

LibertyLink is the foundation of the future, by 2020 it will be in all soybean trait platforms – Xtend®, Enlist®, BalanceGTLL®, and MGI®. Follow the S.T.O.P Weeds with Liberty guidelines for long-term success.

1“Highest rated soybean trait” based on 2017 Kynetec Soybean Trait Intentions & Perceptions Market Research. Conducted August 10-17, 2017.

Shared Risk Program

The 2018 Bayer Shared Risk™ Program protects your investment from planting to harvest by including trait and input cost protection when an Act of God forces replant, causes crop loss, or dryland yield falls within specified ranges. Bayer’s goal is to provide risk protection to cotton growers who plan for success by investing in high-quality seed and traits and using Best Management Practices.
