TOUGH WEEDS DEMAND EVEN TOUGHER WEED CONTROL.

• Follow application guidelines to ensure adequate coverage of Liberty herbicide.

- Apply early when weeds are no more than 3 to 4 inches tall.

- Apply Liberty at 15 GPA of water; increase water if dense weed canopy exists.

- Use nozzles and pressure that generate a medium-sized spray droplet.

- Apply when wind speeds are less than 10 mph.

The field on the left was planted to Roundup Ready soybeans and overrun with glyphosate-resistant weeds. One year later, the same field was planted to LibertyLink soybeans and treated with Liberty herbicide, effectively controlling glyphosate-resistant Palmer amaranth.

WEED MANAGEMENT

Using Liberty herbicide with the LibertyLink trait as part of an Integrated Weed Management program helps ensure control of the toughest weeds that continually jeopardize crops, including Palmer amaranth, giant ragweed, waterhemp and marestail.

Liberty is a contact-based herbicide that requires good coverage for maximum weed control efficacy. Spraying early when weeds are no more than 3 to 4 inches tall eliminates them quickly and reduces the chance that they will rob crops of their yield potential.

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 fields clean longer.
