Prohibition for Enlist One and Enlist Duo lifted for Kansas

Apr 01, 2022

By Sarah Lancaster

The Enlist One and Enlist Duo labels that were approved in January had several new restrictions, including the prohibition of use in 10 counties in Kansas (Chautauqua, Cherokee, Cowley, Elk, Greenwood, Labette, Montgomery, Neosho, Wilson, and Woodson). Amended supplemental labels were approved on March 29 to allow the use of Enlist One and Enlist Duo in these counties.

Enlist One and Enlist Duo are the only 2,4-D formulations approved for over-the-top herbicide application to Enlist E3 soybean and cotton. Some of the other restrictions that were new to the 2022 labels include using runoff mitigation measures to reach the number of credits needed for your soil type, and application cutoffs of R1 in soybean and first white bloom in cotton.

Video: Why Invest in Canada’s Seed Future? | On The Brink: Episode 3

Darcy Unger just invested millions to build a brand-new seed plant on his farm in Stonewall, Manitoba so when it’s time for his sons to take over, they have the tools they need to succeed.

Right now, 95% of the genetics they’ll be growing come from Canadian plant breeders.

That number matters.

When fusarium hit Western Canada in the late 90s, it was Canadian breeders who responded, because they understood Canadian conditions. That ability to react quickly to what’s happening on Canadian farms is exactly what’s at risk when breeding programs lose funding.

For farmers like Darcy, who have made generational investments based on the assumption that better genetics will keep coming, the stakes are direct and personal.

We’re on the brink of decisions that will shape our agricultural future for not only our generation, but also the ones to come.

What direction will we choose?

On The Brink is a year-long video series traveling across Canada to meet the researchers, breeders, farmers, seed companies, and policymakers shaping the future of Canadian plant breeding. Each week, a new story. Each story, a piece of the bigger picture.
