Know What Neighbors Are Planting Next Year

When selecting seed for next spring, farmers need to take into consideration which herbicide trait technologies they want to use and where they want to place those technologies. Knowing the surroundings can help them make better use of these technologies.

Using field planning to understand where compatible and susceptible crops are helps you make successful herbicide applications when growing crops with an Enlist® trait. Learn more from Enlist experts.

Field planning scenarios

For growers outside the Cotton Belt, is it OK to spray Enlist One® or Enlist Duo® herbicide if an adjacent susceptible crop is downwind?

If an adjacent susceptible crop is downwind, DO NOT SPRAY an Enlist® herbicide. Use glufosinate and/or glyphosate to stay ahead of weeds if necessary. Buffer distances do not protect downwind adjacent susceptible crops. The best scenario is to wait until wind is blowing directly away from the vineyard, tomatoes or other susceptible crop.

For growers outside the Cotton Belt, is it OK to spray Enlist One® or Enlist Duo® herbicide when wind is blowing away from susceptible crops and toward soybeans without the Enlist E3® trait?

It’s OK to spray when wind is blowing away from susceptible crops and toward soybeans without the Enlist E3® trait. Soybeans without the Enlist E3 trait are not a susceptible crop, meaning you can spray when the wind is blowing toward them with no field separation.

For growers outside the Cotton Belt, is it OK to spray Enlist One® or Enlist Duo® herbicide when wind is blowing toward an adjacent compatible crop?

It’s OK to spray and there are no wind directional restrictions when wind is blowing toward an adjacent compatible crop, such as corn, wheat, alfalfa or sorghum. Watch for shifting wind during the application. If wind shifts toward the susceptible crop, stop spraying.

For growers inside the Cotton Belt, is it OK to spray Enlist One® or Enlist Duo® herbicide if an adjacent susceptible crop is downwind?

If an adjacent susceptible crop is downwind, DO NOT SPRAY an Enlist® herbicide. Use glufosinate or glyphosate to stay ahead of weeds if necessary. Buffer distances do not protect downwind adjacent susceptible crops. The best scenario is to wait until wind is blowing directly away from the cotton without the Enlist® trait.

For growers inside the Cotton Belt, is it OK to spray Enlist One® or Enlist Duo® herbicide when wind is blowing away from cotton without the Enlist trait and toward soybeans without the Enlist E3® trait?

It’s OK to spray when wind is blowing away from cotton without the Enlist trait and toward soybeans without the Enlist E3® trait. Soybeans without the Enlist E3 trait are not a susceptible crop, meaning you can spray when the wind is blowing toward them with no field separation.

For growers inside the Cotton Belt, is it OK to spray Enlist One® or Enlist Duo® herbicide when wind is blowing toward an adjacent compatible crop?

It’s OK to spray and there are no wind directional restrictions when wind is blowing toward an adjacent compatible crop, such as soybeans, corn, wheat, alfalfa, peanuts or rice. Watch for shifting wind during the application. If wind shifts toward the cotton without the Enlist trait, stop spraying.
