TruFlex® LibertyLink® Canola
TruFlex® LibertyLink® canola
A canola trait for farmers who want to use all of the tools available to them, with the ability to select their herbicide options depending on the weed spectrum in their fields. With this innovative canola trait, you get the benefit of the weed control provided by both Roundup® and Liberty® branded herbicides – including exceptional control of kochia, wild oats, cleavers and waterhemp.
Customized management techniques
The flexibility to select the herbicide options based on your individual fields, environment and weed spectrum.
Effective control of a wide range of problem weeds including
wild oats, cleavers and kochia without giving up crop safety.
Manage Herbicide Resistance
Provides an effective tool for managing and
delaying herbicide resistance.

Control weeds early
Early weed control helps ensure strong stand establishment and higher yield potential. To achieve this, start with a pre-seed burndown using a tank mix partner to keep your fields free of weeds from emergence up to the two-leaf stage.
There are multiple herbicide combinations with TruFlex® canola and LibertyLink® Technologies trait. The following are some proven approaches using the system for specific weed pressures:
Follow this proven approach for wild oat control:
Roundup® brand herbicide
0.67 L/ac.
Apply 0.67 L/ac. of Roundup® brand herbicide before the canola reaches the two-leaf stage.
Liberty® 150 SN herbicide
1.6 L/ac.
If required, come back in with an application of 1.6 L/ac. of Liberty® 150 SN herbicide to control any late flushes of broadleaf weeds.
Glyphosate-resistant kochia control
If glyphosate-resistant kochia is a problem in your fields:
Liberty® 150 SN herbicide
1.6 L/ac.
Apply Liberty® 150 SN at the 1.6 L/ac. rate prior to the kochia reaching 4 inches
Roundup® brand herbicide
0.67 /ac.
Second, apply Roundup® brand herbicide at the 0.67 L/ac. rate 10–14 days later to control additional grass and broadleaf weeds
Roundup® brand herbicide
0.67 L/ac.
Apply 0.67 L/ac. of Roundup® brand herbicide before the canola reaches the two-leaf stage
Roundup® brand herbicide
0.67 L/ac.
If required, come back in with an application of 0.67 L/ac. of Roundup® brand herbicide before first flower*.
*First flower is when 50% of the plants in the field have no more than one flower.

Weed control comparison
These images are from Bayer trial plots, demonstrating three different approaches to early season weed control. In this trial, the plot treated with an initial application of Liberty® 150 SN herbicide followed by an application of Roundup® herbicide showed superior control of weeds. After the initial application of Liberty® 150 SN herbicide , any weed regrowth was effectively controlled by the application of Roundup® herbicide.
Roundup® herbicide at 0.67 L/ac. followed by Roundup® herbicide at 0.67 L/ac. a week later.
Liberty® 150 SN herbicide at 1.62 L/ac. with 75 mL/ac. Centurion® herbicide followed by Liberty® herbicide at 1.6 L/ac. a week later.
Liberty® 150 SN herbicide at 1.62 L/ac. with 75 mL/ac. Centurion® herbicide followed by Roundup® herbicide at 0.67 L/ac. a week later.
