New Enlist One and Enlist Duo Herbicide Labels Approved

By Sarah Lancaster

On January 11, the EPA renewed labels for Enlist One and Enlist Duo for seven years. These are the only 2,4-D formulations approved for over-the-top herbicide application to Enlist E3 soybean and Enlist cotton. The labels come with some additional restrictions compared to the previous labels. These additional restrictions are summarized below.

  • Use runoff mitigation measures to reach the number of credits needed for your soil type. Runoff mitigation measures are listed in Table 1.  Fields with sand, loamy sand, sandy loam or sandy clay loam soil must accumulate 4 credits. Fields with silt loam, loam, clay loam, silty clay loam, sandy clay, silty clay, or clay soil must accumulate 6 credits.
     
  • There are ten counties in Kansas where the use of Enlist herbicides has been prohibited by the EPA due to an updated Endangered Species Act risk assessment. These ten Kansas counties are: Chautauqua, Cherokee, Cowley, Elk, Greenwood, Labette, Montgomery, Neosho, Wilson, and Woodson. Corteva representatives are continuing to work to establish mitigation measures for Enlist use in these counties. Additional information will be made available as soon as possible.
     
  • Products may be applied through R1 in soybean and first white bloom in cotton.
     
  • The list of approved nozzles has been expanded. Updated list of qualified nozzles will be available at Enlist.com.  Please note there may be a slight delay in website updates.

Spring Planting Prep Just Got Serious… We NEED This!

Video: Spring Planting Prep Just Got Serious… We NEED This!

Getting closer to planting season means one thing… it’s time to get EVERYTHING ready.

Today didn’t go exactly as planned—we thought we’d be hauling potatoes again, but instead we spent the day digging equipment out of the cellar, hooking up the grain drill, and getting tractors ready to roll. With wheat planting just around the corner, every piece of equipment matters.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a normal day without a few problems… dead batteries, hydraulic issues, and a truck tire that absolutely refused to cooperate. We tried everything—jump packs, bead bazooka, ratchet straps… and eventually had to bring out the “big guns” just to get things moving again.

But that’s farm life—adapt, fix, and keep moving forward.

We’re getting close to go-time. Wheat seed is coming soon, and planting season is right around the corner
