Management Tools Packaged for Performance

TwinLink Plus and TwinLink are packaged with GlyTol^® and LibertyLink^® traits, the GLTP and GLT trait packages offered in FiberMax and Stoneville varieties. With GLTP and GLT, growers reap the benefit of full in-season tolerance to Liberty herbicide and glyphosate combined with industry-leading lepidopteran resistance. GLTP and GLT give growers the flexibility:

• To choose the herbicide application that best fits their cotton-growing conditions and farm management practices
• To rotate herbicide sites of action to control weeds effectively and reduce the potential of weed resistance.

Key Benefits of GLTP and GLT Trait Packages include:

• Greater efficiency and flexibility for weed and insect control that allows growers to make the right decisions for their farms
• A wide application window for over-the-top applications of glyphosate or Liberty herbicide products
• Herbicide-resistant traits with proven efficacy and crop safety

BASF is committed to implementing effective Insect Resistance Management (IRM) programs for TwinLink® Plus, TwinLink and future traits that confer insect resistance to crops.

The IRM program for TwinLink and TwinLink Plus cotton is updated annually by BASF based on feedback from grower and industry groups, along with input from Extension, research and regulatory experts.

The TwinLink and TwinLink Plus IRM plan has three major components: effective doses of multiple insecticidal protein, good Integrated Pest Management (IPM) practice and effective refuge.
