U.S. EPA Removes 134 County Restrictions,
Issues Updated Supplemental Labels for Enlist One® and
Enlist Duo® Herbicides
INDIANAPOLIS, March 29,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Corteva Agriscience is pleased
to announce that many growers will have reinstated access to Enlist
One® and Enlist Duo® herbicides for the 2022
growing season. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
today issued updated supplemental labels for the herbicides that
remove geographic restrictions for two listed species, the American
Burying Beetle and the Eastern Massasauga Rattlesnake. Enlist
herbicides were granted a seven-year amended registration in
January and are the first products to complete the EPA's new
Endangered Species Act (ESA) Protection risk assessment
process.

"Corteva Agriscience is working on behalf of our customers to
see as many labeled-off counties reinstated as possible while still
protecting listed species and their habitats," said Susanne Wasson, president, Crop Protection
Business Platform for Corteva Agriscience. "American Burying Beetle
and Eastern Massasauga Rattlesnake counties were prioritized
because they represent the majority of restricted acres and getting
them back on the label allows more growers access to this critical
weed control technology for 2022."
The updated supplemental labels remove geographic restrictions
for Enlist One and Enlist Duo herbicides in 128 counties where
American Burying Beetle is found, as well as six counties where
Enlist Duo was restricted due to the Eastern Massasauga
Rattlesnake. Updated usage area maps and supplemental labels will
be available on Enlist.com/SupplementalLabels.
"Demand for this leading weed control system continues to grow
and Corteva Agriscience field teams are ready to serve growers with
Enlist traited crops and herbicides as we move into spring
planting," said Cynthia Ericson,
vice president, U.S. Marketing for Corteva Agriscience. "Corteva
Agriscience is continuing to conduct studies and provide additional
data to EPA to support the removal of further geographic label
restrictions where feasible."
The Enlist® weed control system includes Enlist
herbicides, Enlist™ Ahead, Enlist E3® soybeans,
Enlist® cotton and Enlist® corn. The
comprehensive system offers multiple herbicide modes of action to
control tough weeds and is centered around 2,4-D choline with
Colex-D® technology, which provides key benefits
including near-zero volatility, reduced potential for off-target
movement and physical drift, and improved handling characteristics
when applied pursuant to label instructions. Further, Enlist cotton
and Enlist E3 soybean crops are tolerant to three herbicide modes
of action, 2,4-D choline, glufosinate and glyphosate, allowing for
a robust integrated weed management program to tackle herbicide
resistance and improve the sustainability of farmers' weed control
practices.
Corteva will also continue grower education efforts, including
label changes, through the Enlist Ahead management resource, which
informs growers, distributors, retailers, and applicators about
proper use. The Enlist Ahead program helps customers with on-target
applications and sound weed management practices for successful,
sustainable use of the Enlist weed control system.
