Herbicide Update

The Ignite herbicide brand will have its name changed back to Liberty in 2012.  Below is the press release from Bayer CropScience:

Bayer CropScience announced that the global brand Liberty® herbicide will replace the Ignite® herbicide brand for use on LibertyLink® crops in the U.S. market starting in the 2012 crop season.
“Globally, the use of the LibertyLink system is experiencing rapid adoption due to growing weed resistance to glyphosate and the excellent germplasm performance, which in turn is increasing the demand for a non-selective herbicide,” said Al Luke, head of broad acre crop marketing for Bayer CropScience. “Bayer is investing to increase the global production of Liberty herbicide and help ensure adequate supplies, especially in the rapidly expanding U.S. market.”
“Liberty herbicide still offers the same benefits and levels of performance as the former Ignite herbicide, including the new 65 ounce seasonal maximum for soybeans,” Luke said. “And Liberty herbicide should be applied according to label directions.
