Enlist One® Herbicide Gives Southern Farmers Choice and Flexibility to Control Tough Weeds
Why are farmers across the Cotton Belt making the switch to the Enlist® weed control system? Simply put: It’s neighbor-friendly weed control that stops tough weeds in their tracks.
Farmers love the exceptional weed control they get with Enlist One® herbicide. It’s one reason the Enlist weed control system has become the No. 1-selling soybean technology in the United States. On the cotton acre, the Enlist weed control system is the clear choice for a herbicide program that gives farmers more options for excellent weed control.
Glyphosate-resistant Palmer amaranth, marestail and waterhemp are perennial problems across cotton country, but the list of challenging weeds always changes. To manage different species and prevent weed resistance, agronomists recommend a program approach that incorporates multiple herbicide modes of action (MOA) for fast-acting weed control with a long-lasting residual.
Hunter Bowman, Ph.D., Corteva Agriscience market development specialist in the Midsouth, says farmers are turning to the Enlist weed control system to leverage the power of Enlist One herbicide, a proprietary formulation of 2,4-D choline that provides confident weed control with applications that land and stay on target.
Corteva Market Development Specialist Hunter Bowman, Ph.D., says Enlist One® herbicide provides excellent weed control and gives Southern growers the tank-mix options they need for their cotton acres.
“Enlist One herbicide is one of the best tools we have today to control weeds in cotton and soybeans across the South,” Bowman said. “When farmers use Enlist One for the first time, they are often pleasantly surprised at the weed control they get compared with their old system. And they get neighbor-friendly applications with the benefit of many tank-mix partners.”
Tank-mix flexibility is especially important for Southern farmers managing an emerging list of problematic weed species. With Enlist One herbicide as the cornerstone, growers can add residual herbicides to their applications to help control targeted weeds and provide additional MOA to prevent weed resistance. Bowman says having tank-mix options is a key that will help farmers unlock clean fields.
“We’ve done a really good job controlling glyphosate-resistant Palmer amaranth with Enlist One herbicide as the foundation of our weed control program,” Bowman said. “As growers have gotten that weed under control, attention is shifting to weeds such as goosegrass, barnyardgrass, teaweed and others. Weed pressure continually changes, so farmers need the tools and flexibility to change with it.”
When using Enlist One herbicide, farmers can select additional herbicides from a list of more than 1,700 qualified tank-mix partners to customize a weed management program for their unique needs. For example, Bowman typically recommends Enlist One herbicide plus a contact herbicide such as glufosinate for broadleaf weeds or glyphosate for grasses.
For long-lasting, residual control, Enversa™ herbicide is the tank-mix partner of choice for Enlist One herbicide for Enlist® cotton and Enlist E3® soybeans. Enversa herbicide is a proprietary encapsulated acetochlor that drives to the soil to create a protective residual barrier from weed emergence while providing excellent crop safety. Tank mixes of Enlist One and Enversa herbicides can be applied up to first bloom in Enlist cotton and through R1 in Enlist E3 soybeans, providing application flexibility to help farmers cover more acres and navigate challenging weather conditions.
When making applications, Bowman says, growers will also find freedom to apply Enlist One herbicide without restrictions they’ve grown accustomed to with dicamba herbicide programs. There is no mandatory use of drift reduction agents (DRAs) and volatility reduction agents (VRAs), and there are no calendar cutoff dates or temperature restrictions for applications of Enlist One herbicide.
“Overall, choice and flexibility are the two words that best sum up the benefits of Enlist One and the Enlist weed control system,” Bowman said. “Farmers get choice in their program approach to decide which modes of action to use. They get flexibility in their tank-mix partners and herbicide applications. And they get excellent weed control from applications that land on target.”
