Growers can get up to $300 back with “Try 10 on Us” program

Research Triangle Park, NC (November 18, 2008) -– Growers who use Poncho® 500 seed-applied insecticide may be eligible to earn up to $300 from Bayer CropScience in 2009 with the Try 10 on Us program.

Poncho 500 offers corn growers improved control of wireworm, black cutworm and other insects.

“With the higher cost of seed, it pays more than ever to invest in a seed treatment,” says Kerry Grossweiler, Bayer CropScience product manager for seed treatments. “Growers who use Poncho 500 can see an average 10 bushel-per-acre increase in their yields over the fungicide control.”

The Try 10 on Us program makes available to growers who purchase 100 or more bags of Poncho 500-treated seeds a $300 rebate. A $150 rebate is available to those growers who purchase 50 to 99 bags of Poncho 500-treated seed. Seed invoices must be dated between August 1, 2008, and May 31, 2009.
