Herbicide formulations can dramatically influence herbicide performance, from efficacy to compatibility to shelf life.

Andy Fordice, category leader for Enlist herbicides, talks about the recent launch of the Enlist weed control system for corn, including the new choline formulation of 2,4-D in Enlist One and Enlist Duo and the addition of Assure II as a tool against grasses and volunteer corn. Fordice also addresses how the Enlist soybean system gives no-tillers a tool to control tough weeds in-crop with 2,4-D, glyphosate and glufosinate.

Last week the Environmental Protection Agency issued approval for Enlist Duo, the glyphosate/2,4-D premix for use in the Enlist corn and soybean system, in six states: Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Ohio, South Dakota and Wisconsin. The approval came with a number of conditions that set a new precedent, and we will cover these in more detail later this fall.
