As a farmer, how often does your daily game plan go exactly as scheduled? Because of those curveballs you know will come, you need products that offer as much weed control flexibility as you can get.
That flexibility starts with using herbicides that give you options to plant the crops you feel will benefit your economic bottom line. Flexibility also should include factors such as tank-mix compatibility and delivering an extended protective residual barrier when weather conditions keep you and/or your crew on the sidelines for days at a time.
For the most part, farmers in the South and Southeast plant cotton, corn, soybeans and/or peanuts. Those farmers need to keep their commodity options open when markets fluctuate and they want to pivot to another crop.
Aaron Smith, strategic marketing manager, Corteva Agriscience, understands that decision-making scenario and the importance of farmers having flexibility in production plans.
“When growers choose to make a herbicide application, they not only want it to provide good control, they want to know they can go back to another crop of their choosing after harvest,” Smith says. “That flexibility is attainable with Enversa herbicide, because plant-back limitations are almost nonexistent for those key crops grown across the South and Southeast.”
Southern Commodities and Resistance
Soybeans are an important commodity in the South. Arkansas and Missouri are both ranked as two of the nation’s top 10 soybean-producing states. Cotton has long been a staple crop in all Southern states, and peanuts remain a crop option across the South and Southeast.
The use of Group 15 active ingredients continues to increase, because they can be used across several crops, especially when a grower takes an all-inclusive program approach to weed control. Many consultants and retailers recommend this approach, because it combines residual protection to manage key driver weeds like resistant pigweed.
“Enversa herbicide offers superior versatility over multiple crops,” says John Richburg, field scientist Corteva Agriscience. “When I talk about what this herbicide product brings to a farmer, I always include three points: 1. Weed control; 2. Excellent crop safety in the pre or post segment; and 3. How it goes into suspension so well with other products in the tank, like glufosinate.”
Jeff Moon, market development specialist, Corteva Agriscience sees Enversa™ herbicide being the preferred partner of choice to use with Enlist One® herbicide for Enlist E3® soybeans.
“We want Enlist E3 soybeans to be around for a long time and we want the Enlist weed control system to remain effective,” Moon says. “The way to do that is to use products like Enversa herbicide to put in another mode of action that helps control weeds through residual activity, providing a barrier to help make the Enlist system successful for our farmer customers.”
As resistance to glyphosate and ALS herbicides continues, farmers need options that offer weed control in cotton, soybeans, corn and peanuts. As an encapsulated Group 15 residual herbicide, Enversa herbicide provides powerful control of 20 of the toughest broadleaf and grass weeds in today’s weed spectrum.
“I would also remind all farmers that Enversa herbicide fits perfectly into a herbicide program approach plan with other Corteva Agriscience soybean herbicides, such as Sonic, Trivence and Enlist One herbicides,” Moon concludes.
