The formulation incorporates Colex-D technology, which minimizes drift potential and ensures on-target application. This advanced technology reduces volatility and enhances the herbicide’s ability to stay within the intended treatment area, protecting neighboring crops and sensitive areas.
Enlist Duo is specifically designed for use on Enlist field corn, Enlist E3 soybeans, summerfallow, and prior to seeding or after seeding (but before crop emergence) in spring and winter. For optimal results, apply Enlist Duo within the appropriate growth stage windows when weeds are shorter than 6 inches. Use spray rates from the product label when weeds are shorter than 6 inches and crops are within the appropriate growth stage window. Spray 4.75 pints per acre.
It is crucial to consult the Enlist Duo herbicide label for a comprehensive list of weed species controlled and to adhere to all application guidelines. Enlist Duo and Enlist One herbicides are the only 2,4-D products authorized for use with Enlist crops.
Crops Compatible with Enlist Herbicides
Enlist herbicides, including Enlist Duo and Enlist One, are specifically designed for use with crops possessing the Enlist trait. These crops are genetically modified to tolerate the active ingredients in Enlist herbicides, providing farmers with a powerful tool for weed control without harming their crops. Key crops compatible with Enlist herbicides include Enlist field corn, Enlist E3 soybeans, and Enlist cotton.
Enlist E3 soybeans exhibit tolerance to 2,4-D choline, glyphosate, and glufosinate (Liberty), offering flexibility in weed management strategies. Enlist corn is engineered to withstand applications of 2,4-D choline and glyphosate. Enlist cotton similarly benefits from tolerance to these herbicides, enabling effective control of broadleaf weeds and grasses.
It is crucial to note that Enlist herbicides should only be applied to crops explicitly designated as Enlist crops. Application to non-Enlist crops can result in significant injury or plant death. Always consult the herbicide label and crop specifications to ensure compatibility and proper usage.
Application Guidelines⁚ Timing and Growth Stages
Proper timing and adherence to crop growth stages are crucial for maximizing the effectiveness of Enlist herbicides while minimizing potential crop injury. Enlist herbicides should be applied within specific growth stage windows to ensure optimal weed control and crop safety. Always consult the Enlist herbicide label for detailed application instructions and growth stage restrictions.
For Enlist cotton, applications should be made up to the first white bloom stage. Enlist E3 soybeans allow for application through the R1 growth stage. Enlist corn applications must be completed no later than the V8 growth stage or when the corn reaches 30 inches in height, whichever comes first.
Applying Enlist herbicides outside of these recommended growth stages may lead to reduced weed control efficacy or increased risk of crop damage. It is also important to consider weed height when making applications. For best results, apply Enlist herbicides when weeds are shorter than 6 inches. Always refer to the product label for specific recommendations based on weed species and size.
Tank Mixing with Enlist Herbicides
Tank mixing Enlist herbicides can broaden the spectrum of weed control and enhance overall efficacy. However, it is essential to exercise caution and only combine Enlist Duo and Enlist One herbicides with qualified tank-mix partners to avoid potential antagonism or crop injury. Always consult the Enlist herbicide label and EnlistTankMix.com for a comprehensive list of compatible tank-mix partners.
Using multiple effective modes of action in tank mixtures is a key strategy for managing herbicide resistance. Qualified tank-mix partners, such as Liberty and Durango DMA herbicides, can provide complementary weed control and help prevent the development of resistant weed populations.
Before tank mixing any products, conduct a jar test to ensure physical compatibility. This will help identify potential issues such as precipitation or separation that could clog nozzles and reduce spray coverage. Always follow the most restrictive label language when mixing multiple products. Prioritize proper mixing order and agitation to maintain a uniform spray solution. Refer to EnlistTankMix.com for customized weed control programs.
