Monsanto Sets 2018 Crop Protection Incentives

Monsanto will provide growers with multiple offerings for the 2018 growing season, including tools, resources and products to help them maximize weed control in the field.

This featured offer allows soybean growers to earn an additional $6 more per acre in cash back when they apply XtendiMax herbicide with VaporGrip Technology – now a restricted use pesticide – to their Roundup Ready 2 Xtend soybeans along with endorsed herbicides from Roundup Ready PLUS Crop Management Solutions.

Cotton growers planting varieties containing XtendFlex Technology can qualify for an additional $5.50 per acre.

The incentive was recently announced by Monsanto for the 2018 growing season and is designed to help growers boost profitability while effectively managing their toughest weed challenges.

“The Roundup Ready Xtend Crop System provides farmers the tools, resources and products for effective weed control,” said Ryan Rubischko, product manager and marketing lead. “With the incentive this coming season for using XtendiMax with VaporGrip Technology, growers also now have a way to better manage difficult-to-control weeds and their bottom line.”
