For proven pest management, Bayer offers an exclusive trait combination of GlyTol LibertyLink and TwinLink, or GLT.

  • GlyTol – For over-the-top glyphosate application
  • LibertyLink – For over-the-top application of Liberty herbicide at full label rate with proven crop safety

Effective Early Season Pest Management

Bayer seed-applied solutions, including Aeris insecticide/nematicide, Trilex Advanced fungicide and EverGol Prime, set the stage for a successful season.

The newest product in the seed treatment market, COPeO Prime nematicide, is available exclusively on FiberMax and Stoneville cotton varieties. Research shows COPeO Prime contributes to higher yields both with and without the use of other nematode management measures, such as nematode-tolerant varieties and other nematicidal seed treatments.

For at-plant nematode control, Velum Total provides effective control and an excellent return on investment. Velum Total also controls early-season insects, such as thrips, aphids and plant bugs.
