Winter Wheat Sweepstakes Awards $6,160 - PRE-PARE™ Herbicide Customer Cashes in with Sweepstakes and Early Weed Removal

Arysta LifeScience is pleased to award $6,160 to one lucky grower from Moffit, ND. The winning amount represents the amount of PRE-PARE herbicide he is being reimbursed for in the PRE-PARE™ Winter Wheat Sweepstakes.

Cary, NC (PRWEB) February 5, 2009 -- Arysta LifeScience is pleased to award $6,160 to one lucky grower from Moffit, ND. The winning amount represents the amount of PRE-PARE herbicide he is being reimbursed for in the PRE-PARE™ Winter Wheat Sweepstakes.

Winter wheat growers in select counties in Montana, North Dakota and South Dakota entered online at www.preparefortheseason.com/winter or by phone. The grand prize was reimbursement for the grower's PRE-PARE herbicide purchase, to a maximum of 1,500 acres, valued at $13,000. The sweepstakes entries reflect the great success Arysta LifeScience has earned in the winter wheat market with PRE-PARE herbicide.

Arysta LifeScience recently confirmed that 2008 inventories of PRE-PARE had sold out twice with a total of 750,000 acres across North Dakota, South Dakota and Montana receiving a PRE-PARE pre-seed burndown application.

"The PRE-PARE Winter Wheat Sweepstakes winner is just one of many growers realizing the yield benefit from early weed removal," says Patrick Haikal, Herbicide Product Manager with Arysta LifeScience. "PRE-PARE tank-mixed with glyphosate provides a better burndown - this fortunate customer is cashing in on the enhanced control and winning our sweepstakes contest."

Arysta LifeScience credits PRE-PARE herbicide's unique benefits of residual grass and broadleaf weed control and strong support from the retail network for the back to back sellout of product in 2008. Demand is expected to be strong again in 2009 - grower's can visit www.preparefortheseason.com for more information on PRE-PARE herbicide and any future offers and contests.
