Herbicide drift is something all farmers want to avoid. Luckily, with the right trait technology and steps for precision applications, you can get on-target, effective weed control.

Enlist^® Herbicides vs. Generic 2,4-D

The trait technology in the Enlist^® weed control system provides effective weed control plus herbicides with near-zero volatility. Enlist E3® soybeans offer tolerances to 2,4-D choline, glufosinate and glyphosate, while Enlist® corn offers the same plus an additional tolerance to FOP herbicides.

“Enlist One herbicide and Enlist Duo herbicide are the only 2,4-D products labeled for use on Enlist crops and for good reason,” says Iowa-based Enlist^® field specialist Scott Jungman. “When compared with generic 2,4-D formulations, Enlist herbicides are significantly less likely to move off target. Herbicide drift makes weed control less effective and can damage vulnerable crops, creating the potential for serious penalties.”

Jungman explains what sets Enlist^® herbicides apart from generics: “Enlist herbicides contain 2,4-D with Colex-D, a novel drift-reduction technology that makes spray droplets significantly less likely to drift. When used according to label, Enlist herbicides land and stay on target, without requiring additional drift control agents.”

Here are a few stats that set Enlist herbicides apart:

Enlist^® Herbicides vs. Dicamba

Jungman says Enlist herbicides provide several advantages over dicamba : “For one, the 2,4-D choline in Enlist herbicides is 236 times less volatile than dicamba.”

Enlist herbicides offer these additional benefits over dicamba:

“Finally, soybeans of any trait technology are not susceptible to Enlist herbicides,” Jungman says. “The same is not true of dicamba.”

Jungman says dicamba drift has caused damage — and even yield loss — across the Corn Belt. However, when used correctly, the Enlist^® system prevents these issues while providing effective control of tough weeds.

Tips for On-target Applications

While Enlist herbicides offer near-zero volatility, Jungman says, it’s still essential to follow best practices for on-target applications. Here are four tips for success:
