6 Ways to Define Weed Control Flexibility
The Enlist® weed control system is often referred to as “the new standard for weed control.” But what sets this technology apart? It’s the fact the Enlist system offers both industry-leading efficacy and flexibility. If you grow cotton, you know the importance of a flexible weed control program cannot be understated. Here are six ways the Enlist system provides superior flexibility from start to finish:
1. Multiple herbicide tolerances — Enlist cotton offers cottonseed varieties that are tolerant to 2,4-D choline (found in Enlist One® and Enlist Duo® herbicides), glyphosate and glufosinate as well as varieties that are tolerant to 2,4-D choline and glufosinate. The Enlist trait enables you to use Enlist herbicides over the top of cotton for broad-spectrum weed control. You also can apply Enlist herbicides preemergence and in burndown — with no plant-back restrictions for Enlist crops.
2. Herbicide choices to fit your field — Choose between Enlist Duo or Enlist One depending on which herbicide better serves your fields.
• Enlist Duo herbicide combines 2,4-D choline and glyphosate and is available as a convenient, proprietary blend.
• Enlist One herbicide is a straight-goods 2,4-D choline providing additional tank-mix flexibility.
The Enlist weed control system allows you to employ Enlist herbicides as the cornerstone of a herbicide program approach to overcome your toughest weed challenges. You also can incorporate residual herbicides into your pre- and postemergence programs for season-long control.
3. More tank-mix options — There are more than 1,700 qualified products — including herbicides, fungicides, insecticides and adjuvants — that can be tank-mixed with Enlist One herbicide. At EnlistTankMix.com, you can find the right qualified tank-mix products for both Enlist One and Enlist Duo herbicides to fit your weed pressure.
4. No calendar cutoff dates — Spray on your schedule and don’t worry about which day of the year it is. Enlist herbicides can be applied through first white bloom on Enlist cotton.
5. No wind directional restrictions near compatible crops — Enlist herbicides do not require a buffer when applied adjacent to compatible crops, which include:
• Alfalfa
• Corn
• Peanuts
• Rice
• Sorghum
• Soybeans
• Wheat
6. Better coverage with qualified nozzles — When combined with qualified nozzles, the 2,4-D choline with Colex-D® technology in Enlist herbicides cuts drift by as much as 90% compared with a tank mix of traditional 2,4-D and glyphosate. A broad choice of qualified nozzles — from different manufacturers and in multiple sizes — is available for Enlist herbicides. Check the list to find the optimum setup for your goals of coverage and drift control.
