Through trait and variety advancements, we supply

cotton growers with technology they need to be

successful. Our flagship FiberMax

and Stoneville

cotton seed brands contain weed and insect control
traits that are second to none in the industry and
allow growers the opportunity to achieve strong
yields and quality. Bayer CropScience currently is the
only company to offer cotton varieties with stacked
herbicide traittechnology.
With GlyTol

LibertyLink

stacked technology, growers

can make over-the-top applications of either Liberty

or glyphosate herbicides. This gives growers two
herbicide modes of action to control weeds effectively
and reduce the potential for resistance as part of
a comprehensive, full-season overlapping residual
herbicide plan. It also protects against the potential
for damage due to off-target movement of Liberty
or glyphosate from nearby fields. GlyTol LibertyLink
stacked technology has full tolerance to both
herbicides and is only available in elite, high-performing
FiberMax and Stoneville cotton seedvarieties.
Extensive laboratory, greenhouse and field trials
across the Cotton Belt have evaluated both the crop
tolerance and agronomic performance of cotton
varieties with GlyTol LibertyLink stacked technology.
Research and on-farm trials continue to prove that
they are excellent performers in the field and deliver
a high level of convenience, efficacy, crop safety and
peace of mind.
LIBERTY HERBICIDE
Use Liberty herbicide with the LibertyLink trait as part
of an Integrated Weed Management system. With the
unique mode of action in Liberty, growers can control
weeds early before they jeopardize yield potential.
Liberty helps growers achieve high yields through
better weed control.
As with all herbicide technologies, sound weed control
programs should be used when planting GlyTol
LibertyLink stacked varieties, including the use of more
than one herbicide mode of action and/or tillage where
appropriate. In cotton, the use of pre-plant incorporated,
pre-emergence and/or postemergence (layby and
over-the-top) herbicides in combination with a Liberty
or glyphosate program will help reduce the potential for
weed resistance development and help manage weed
resistance while sustaining the effectiveness of these
weed management tools for cottongrowers.

FOLLOW THESE SIMPLE STEPS
TO USE LIBERTY HERBICIDE:
1. Increase the water volume to 15-20 gallons. Liberty
herbicide is a contact-based herbicide that requires
good coverage for maximum weed control efficacy. For
best results use at least 15 gallons of water per acre.
Increase the amount of water to 20 gallons per acre if
you have a dense weed canopy. Choose the right nozzle
and use the right amount of pressure. Be sure to choose
a nozzle and pressure that generate a medium-sized
spray droplet (350 micron droplet size).
2. Slow down! Remember, Liberty is a contact-based
herbicide that requires good coverage for maximum
weed control efficacy. For best results apply at ground
speeds of less than 10 miles per hour.
3. Take advantage of humidity. Avoid spraying within
two hours of sunset, as it may result in reduced
control of velvetleaf and lambsquarters.
4. Spray weeds at the right time/size. Liberty is
rainfast in four hours. Apply Liberty herbicide to small
weeds no more than 2 to 4 inches tall. If possible,
wait to spray until winds are less than 10 miles per
hour and temperatures are warm (at least 60 degrees
Fahrenheit). High humidity (at least 30 percent) and
sunlight also improve the performance of Liberty.
5. Use the right rates. See chart below.
