ASA welcomes Valent U.S.A. Corporation as a new industry partner and supporter of the association’s efforts on behalf of U.S. soybean farmers. One way Valent is demonstrating their support for ASA, is through an opportunity for ASA members to participate in a field trial program. The program will help address weed resistance challenges and advance soybean yields, while also providing members with the chance to try Valent’s Fierce® XLT Herbicide.

Working with the following five states – Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri and Ohio – Valent would like to enroll up to 75 growers to participate in the Fierce XLT Field Trial Program during the 2015 growing season. Specifically, this program will evaluate how the application of Fierce XLT as part of a pre-plant burndown program, or as a pre-emergence herbicide, can increase yield potential by providing greater control of ragweed and Amaranthus.

At the completion of the program, growers are provided with a report on the total results of the field trials. Valent will provide a complimentary supply of Fierce XLT for all acres enrolled in the field trial. Growers participating in the program who report their yield results and weed control by species will also receive a $100 Visa gift card and a warm Fierce XLT jacket.
