Summary of Benefits

The LibertyLink® trait with Liberty® herbicide offers the most reliable management solution for weeds resistant to glyphosate and multiple herbicide classes.

The LibertyLink trait with Liberty herbicide is the link to profitable, efficient row crop production and glyphosate sustainability.

The LibertyLink trait is widely available in high-yielding soybean, corn, cotton and canola varieties, and allows over-the-top use of Liberty herbicide.

The LibertyLink trait offers several advantages over glyphosate-tolerant systems, as well as several similar benefits:

Kills weeds in days vs. weeks. If environmental conditions don’t allow a residual to be activated,

Liberty herbicide offers the most effective postemergence option for controlling glyphosate-resistant weeds.

Integrated Weed Management With a unique mode of action (Group 10),

Liberty, used over the top of LibertyLink crops is the only nonselective alternative to glyphosate-tolerant systems, where resistance is a growing concern.

Liberty herbicide with the LibertyLink trait is available in multiple crops, which enables growers to rotate nonselective herbicides as well as selective herbicides, on a farm-by-farm basis.

By following Integrated Weed Management (IWM) practices in LibertyLink crops, growers can preserve the utility of herbicide-tolerant technologies.

Stewardship and Resistance Management

Respect the Rotation™ is an initiative to: Elevate the importance and grower adoption of herbicide diversity through rotation

of crops, traits and herbicide classes. Promote agronomically sound IWM practices by highlighting an essential action to

improve weed resistance management. Working together, Respect the Rotation can:

Promote sustainable and profitable row crop production. Steward current and future weed management technology. Motivate growers to manage the spread of weed resistance. Preserve conservation tillage opportunities, land values and a grower’s legacy.

Stewardship and Resistance Management

Respect the Rotation Rotate Crops. Switch the crops you plant in each field frequently to help diversify

weed management tools. Rotate Herbicide-Tolerant Traits. Alternate herbicide-tolerant traits and/or use

herbicide-tolerant stacks for more efficient rotation. Rotate Modes of Action. Reduce selection pressure of a single mode of action by

using multiple modes of action during each growing season and from year to year. It’s best to use multiple practices, as no single strategy is likely to be

completely effective. It’s important to take every opportunity to stop surviving weeds from

producing seed. This will reduce the soil seed bank and the selection pressure, slowing the development of resistant weeds.

Stewardship and Resistance Management

Best management practices for Liberty herbicide and LibertyLink crops:

Start with a clean field – apply fall herbicides and/or spring burndown herbicides that have a different mode of action than Liberty herbicide.

Use full recommended rates of a residual based on the specific weed spectrum in the field.

Apply a properly timed application of Liberty herbicide or Liberty tankmix at labeled rates.

Apply a subsequent, well-timed application of Liberty herbicide or another appropriate herbicide with a different mode of action as needed.

Reference the Liberty label and the Trait & Technology Use Manual for additional details and guidelines.
