Bayer To Reduce Price Of Ignite Herbicide For 2010

L.P. Brown Acquires International Fiber Packaging



Bayer CropScience has announced  a price cut on Ignite herbicide in time for the 2010 season. The company is reducing its price for the herbicide in the range of 20 percent – effective immediately.

Ignite is a nonselective herbicide alternative to glyphosate. LibertyLink corn, cotton, canola and new Liberty-Link soybean varieties enable use of Ignite over-the-top to control weeds.

"The use of Ignite herbicide and the LibertyLink trait is fundamental in preserving the utility of glyphosate and glyphosate-tolerant crops as a viable crop production tool," says Andy Hurst, Bayer CropScience product manager for Ignite herbicide and LibertyLink.

Bayer CropScience is fully committed to supplying Ignite herbicide to meet the demand as crop acres with the LibertyLink trait ramp up, says Hurst.

Cotton Incorporated Partners With Gap On Denim Promotion

Cotton Incorporated spent two weeks in March working with about 1,000 Gap department stores across the country in a "Cotton From Blue To Green" denim drive.

Consumers donated used denim at their Gap stores. All donated denim will then be given a "new life" by being converted into UltraTouch Natural Cotton Fiber Insulation and donated to help build houses for communities in need. Consumers who donate their denim will receive a 30 percent discount off new denim purchases at Gap.

The two-week drive was part of Gap's "Recycle Your Blues" event where customers who donated denim received 30 percent off new denim purchases from Gap, GapKids or babyGap.
