IMPORTANT IRM INFORMATION: RIB Complete® corn blend products do not require the planting of a structured refuge except in the
Cotton-Growing Area where corn earworm is a significant pest. See the IRM/Grower Guide for additional information. Always read
and follow IRM requirements.

Seed products with the LibertyLink®(LL) trait are resistant to the herbicide glufosinate ammonium,
analternative to glyphosate in corn, and combine high-yielding genetics with the powerful,
non-selective, postemergent weed control of Liberty® herbicide for optimum yield and excellent weed

Important: Always read and follow label and bag tag instructions; only those labeled as tolerant to

Preserving Herbicide Technology: Respect the Rotation™ is an initiative to elevate the importance
and grower adoption of herbicide diversity to prevent or manage weed resistance. Glyphosate
weed resistance is a dominating threat throughout the United States that affects land values, rental
agreements, conservation tillage and can greatly reduce yields. The use of Integrated Weed
Management practices, such as use of residuals, pre-emergence herbicides and rotation of crops,
traits and herbicides, is critical as no one method is likely to be completely successful. Respect the
Rotation™ is a trademark of Bayer. Before opening a bag of seed, be sure to read and understand
the stewardship requirements, including applicable refuge requirements for insect resistance
management, for the biotechnology traits expressed in the seed as set forthin the technology
agreement that you sign. By opening and using a bag of seed, you are reaffirming your obligation
to comply with the most recent stewardship requirements.

Refuge size is calculated by applying the appropriate percentage (e.g., 20%, 50%) to the TOTAL CORN ACRES.
¹ Assumes a common corn borer and rootworm refuge. Alternatively, a separate rootworm refuge within or adjacent to the Bt field and a corn borer refuge up to
½ mile away could be planted.

Only applicable in the cotton-growing region where a supplemental 20% refuge is required for this product.
These products may be offered as Agrisure Artesian® corn hybrids, which convert water to grain more efficiently. Artesian™ corn hybrids are designated by an ‘A’ at the end of the trait stack name.
