Use Enlist ® herbicides as the cornerstone of your program approach
Key practices to remember: • Use full labeled rates for best weed management. • Spray when weeds are young, 6 inches tall or less. • Spray when weeds are actively growing. The product labels for Enlist Duo ® and Enlist One ® herbicides also contain important information about application equipment requirements, restrictions and precautions, and weed management.
You’ll have the greatest success in weed management if you use an Enlist ® herbicide as part of a program approach for weed control in Enlist ® crops. This improves weed control, reduces weed competition during key stages of crop growth and helps manage herbicide resistance.
POSTEMERGENCE APPLICATION RATE
Key items to remember: • Enlist ® herbicides can be used in burndown, preemergence and postemergence passes on crops with the Enlist ® trait. • Enlist herbicides are rainfast within four hours. • Up to three applications may be made per season (2 pt./A per application for Enlist One ® herbicide or 4.75 pt./A per application for Enlist Duo ® herbicide, where consistent with runoff management practices; see Page 28 for further information): — One application at burndown or preemergence — Up to two applications postemergence, at least 12 days apart • Always include a true broad-spectrum soil residual herbicide 6 in your weed management plan. • Consider using a layered residual, such as a Group 15 herbicide (e.g., acetochlor, S -metolachlor, pyraxasulfone), in your post passes for longer-lasting weed control.

Tank-mixing Enlist One ® Herbicide With Glufosinate
The primary tank-mix recommendation with Enlist One ® herbicide is glufosinate for acres with high pressure of glyphosate-resistant broadleaf weeds , especially Palmer amaranth, waterhemp and kochia: • Most frequent tank-mix recommendation for the Cotton Belt, where higher levels of resistance and weed pressure are most prevalent • Combination of Enlist One herbicide + glufosinate provides multiple unique, effective sites of action on crops with the Enlist ® trait. 1 • Because of the inherent stability of 2,4-D choline, adding glufosinate in the tank with Enlist One herbicide does not increase the potential for volatility due to acidification.
OPTIMIZING A TANK MIX OF ENLIST ONE ® HERBICIDE + GLUFOSINATE ON ENLIST ® CROPS
Weed height Carrier volume
3 inches tall or less
20 GPA is recommended for best performance of glufosinate, especially when grasses or dense weeds are present; 15 GPA minimum required with tank mix of Enlist One herbicide + glufosinate. Use 1.5 to 3 lb./A of AMS. May be any combination of qualified dry AMS, liquid AMS or AMS-containing products found on EnlistTankMix.com. Use nozzle and corresponding spray pressure from the qualified list for Enlist One herbicide. Optimize coverage with qualified nozzles by using a less coarse nozzle with a higher operating pressure, such as an AIXR or an AITTJ60.

Tank-mixing with Enlist ® herbicides
Begin with half-full tank of water carrier. Begin agitation and continue throughout mixing process. Add products one at a time, in the following order:
Applying an Enlist ® herbicide in a tank mix with other products The application window for an Enlist ® herbicide offers opportunities for tank mixes with other qualified products, such as other herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, micronutrients and adjuvants. Key items to remember: • A tank mix of an Enlist ® herbicide with other qualified herbicides provides multiple sites of action against tough weeds. Only use tank- mix partners listed on EnlistTankMix.com for every application of an Enlist herbicide. • For pigweed, waterhemp and kochia pressure,
6. Capsule suspension (CS) or suspension emulsion (SE)
1. AMS/water- conditioning agents
• Such as acetochlor in Enversa™ herbicide, a capsule suspension.
7. Emulsifiable concentrate (EC) • Such as S -metolachlor in EverpreX ® herbicide 8. Soluble liquids (SL) • Glyphosate products • Glufosinate products • Enlist Duo ® herbicide at 4.75 pt./A or Enlist One ® herbicide at 2 pt./A 9. Crop oil concentrate (COC), methylated seed oil (MSO), nonionic surfactant (NIS), other adjuvants
2. Preslurry water- soluble packets
3. Wettable powders/ dry flowables
4. Compatibility agents
5. Liquid flowables
10. Top off with water carrier
farmers should consider a tank mix of Enlist One ® herbicide + glufosinate.
Ammonium sulfate/water-conditioning agents The addition of an AMS or water-conditioning agent helps maintain optimum performance of glufosinate and glyphosate products tank-mixed with Enlist ® herbicides on annual and perennial weeds, particularly under hard water conditions or drought conditions. The addition of AMS products does not affect the inherently low-volatility characteristics of the 2,4-D choline in Enlist herbicides. The most current list of qualified AMS and water- conditioning agents is available at EnlistTankMix.com. Anti-foam/defoamers The addition of an anti-foaming agent is highly encouraged for ease of mixing and sprayer cleanout. The most current list of qualified anti-foam/defoamers is available at EnlistTankMix.com. ! Note on mixing with glyphosate products: When mixing with Enlist One ® herbicide, do not pour glyphosate products into the tank or inductor at the same time as Enlist One herbicide and do not allow concentrated products to come into contact. Add products one at a time, allowing enough time for recirculation between additions of each separate product. Failure to add products one at a time, lack of sufficient water during mixing or not allowing sufficient agitation may result in salting out.
• For heavy grass pressure and glyphosate- susceptible broadleaves, farmers can either use Enlist Duo ® herbicide, a convenient blend of 2,4-D choline and glyphosate, or Enlist One herbicide + glyphosate. • Layering residual herbicides as part of a tank mix with Enlist herbicides helps provide season-long control of tough broadleaf weeds and grasses. • Farmers and applicators can select from many qualified ammonium sulfate (AMS) products and defoamers, as well as many other adjuvant options, listed on EnlistTankMix.com.
Tank-mix sequence procedures Start with a clean sprayer before mixing a load with Enlist One ® or Enlist Duo ® herbicide.
Scan the QR code to download a tank-mix sequence fact sheet.
14
Check EnlistTankMix.com when planning your application.
Tank-mixing with grass herbicides When tank-mixing grass herbicides such as clethodim with Enlist One ® herbicide, increase the rate of the grass herbicide by a minimum of one-third to overcome potential antagonism. In addition, use recommended adjuvants for the grass herbicides. Do not exceed labeled rates with any recommended increase. To ensure the use of multiple sites of action for broadleaf control, include a broad-spectrum tank- mix partner or a sequential postemergence pass in your weed control program. Refer to all individual product labels, supplemental labeling and fact sheets for all products in the tank mixture, and observe all precautions and limitations on the labels, including application timing restrictions, soil restrictions, minimum plant-back interval and rotational guidelines. Use according to the most restrictive precautionary statements for each product in the tank mixture. In some cases, the addition of tank-mix products may cause increased crop response such as leaf speckling. Applications of emulsifiable concentrate products, or crop oils — including crop oil concentrates (COC), methylated seed oil concentrate (MSOC), high surfactant oil concentrates (HSOC) and vegetable- based oils — are more likely to result in a crop response.
QUALIFIED TANK-MIX PARTNERS ARE: ARE NOT:
• Tested for crop response

Field planning and application best management practices Start with field planning
Avoid downwind susceptible crops
An important part of stewardship with the Enlist weed control system is staying aware of your surroundings. It is especially important to protect susceptible crops and landscapes that have a high relative sensitivity to the 2,4-D choline in Enlist herbicides. Do not spray Enlist herbicides when the wind is blowing toward adjacent susceptible crops.
Field planning is being aware of your surroundings in terms of compatible crops and susceptible crops.
Good field planning is just good common sense; it’ll help maximize your success and the results of the Enlist ® weed control system. Prior to an application of an Enlist ® herbicide, carefully note the wind speed, wind direction, and the crops and landscape that are adjacent to the field you plan to spray. Watch wind direction during an application — be aware of shifting winds during your application. DO NOT SPRAY Enlist ® herbicides when wind is blowing toward adjacent susceptible crops.
DO NOT SPRAY SUSCEPTIBLE CROPS Cotton without Enlist ® trait Grapes Cucurbits Fruiting vegetables Tomatoes Tobacco
Scan the QR code to find the application guide for Enlist ® herbicides.
Know what’s around you
Be sure to find out what else is planted near your Enlist ® field before you spray. That information is crucial to a safe application of an Enlist ® herbicide that allows you to access all the advantages of the Enlist ® weed control system. For example, one advantage of having a compatible crop adjacent to an Enlist ® field is you may apply an Enlist ® herbicide when the wind is blowing within labeled wind speed range toward that compatible crop.
Check wind speed and direction
• Apply when wind speed is between 3 and 10 mph. Make sure to check with the state you are applying in as wind speed requirements may vary by state. Maximum wind speed on federal label of Enlist herbicides is 15 mph. • Always understand which crops and landscapes are downwind prior to making an application of an Enlist herbicide when deciding whether to spray or wait for better wind conditions. • Be aware of shifting winds during your application.
COMPATIBLE CROP EXAMPLES

Controlling spray drift to improve on-target application To minimize the potential for herbicide drift, consider these factors when deciding when and how to apply an Enlist ® herbicide: • Be mindful that wind direction and wind speed are within label parameters. • Use only labeled nozzles and pressure ranges. • Avoid temperature inversions. For more information on temperature inversions, see Page 27. • Confirm the method of application is consistent with the label. Always read and follow the product label as well as state and local requirements related to application of pesticides. Apply an Enlist herbicide only with properly calibrated ground application equipment. Remember: Do not apply an Enlist ® herbicide under circumstances where spray drift may occur to food, forage or other plantings that might be damaged or rendered unfit for sale, use or consumption. Do not allow contact of the herbicide with foliage, green stems or exposed nonwoody roots of crops or desirable plants, including trees and cotton without the Enlist ® trait, because severe injury or destruction may result. Even small amounts of spray drift that may not be visible may injure susceptible broadleaf plants. Before making an application, please refer to your state’s sensitive-crop registry (if available) to identify any commercial specialty or certified organic crops that may be located nearby. At the time of your application, the wind cannot be blowing toward adjacent commercially grown tomatoes and other fruiting vegetables (both in EPA Crop Group 8), cucurbits including watermelon, pumpkin, squash and cucumbers (all in EPA Crop Group 9).
Know and follow federal, state and local requirements
Enlist Duo ® and Enlist One ® herbicides are not registered for sale or use in all states or counties. Contact your state pesticide regulatory agency to determine if a product is registered for sale or use in your area. When you apply an Enlist ® herbicide, you must follow all federal, state and local pesticide application requirements for Enlist Duo and/or Enlist One herbicides. Where states have more stringent regulations, they must be observed. Enlist Duo and Enlist One herbicides with Colex-D ® technology are the only herbicides containing 2,4-D that are authorized for preemergence and postemergence use on Enlist ® crops. 8 It is a federal offense to use any pesticide in a manner that results in an unauthorized “take” (e.g., kill or otherwise harm) of an endangered species or certain threatened species, under the Endangered Species Act Section 9. When using Enlist ® herbicides, you must follow the measures contained in the Endangered Species Protection Bulletin for the area you are applying the product. Before use of Enlist Duo and/or Enlist One herbicides, review the Restrictions section of the label to confirm that the county in which use is intended is not one where use is prohibited. In addition, obtain an Endangered Species bulletin for the intended use location no earlier than six months prior to the application and follow measures listed relevant to that location for the protection of endangered species. To obtain bulletins, consult the website www.epa.gov/espp, call 844-447-3813 or email espp@epa.gov. You must use the bulletin valid for the month in which you will apply the product. To report any ecological incidents, including mortality, injury or harm to nontarget plants or animals, call 855-ENLIST-1.
8 Enlist Duo ® and Enlist One ® herbicides have additional county restrictions in AL, GA, TN and TX. Contact your state pesticide regulatory agency to determine if a product is registered for sale or use in your area. Additional product-specific stewardship requirements for Enlist ® crops can be found at Enlist.com. Always read and follow label directions.

Field planning scenarios: Outside the Cotton Belt IS IT OK TO SPRAY ENLIST ONE ® OR ENLIST DUO ® HERBICIDE?
SOYBEANS WITHOUT THE ENLIST E3 ® TRAIT
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.

SOYBEANS WITHOUT THE ENLIST E3 ® TRAIT
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.

Avoiding temperature inversions
Protecting sensitive areas
A temperature inversion occurs when a layer of warm air covers a layer of cooler air and acts like a lid, preventing the cooler air from rising and dissipating into the upper atmosphere. During a temperature inversion, spray particles can become trapped in the warmer layer of air and stay suspended until wind movement increases, resulting in off-target movement. Never spray if you suspect a temperature inversion is present. You run the risk of damaging susceptible plants in nearby fields, lawns and gardens. Wait until later in the day and check again for a more favorable application environment. Before every application, use steps like these to make sure a temperature inversion is not occurring: • Monitor temperatures by using weather apps on your smartphone when planning an application and always check conditions in the field. If the temperature is within 5 degrees of the overnight low, closely check wind speed and particle movement in the field. • Measure wind speed by using an anemometer. If wind is less than 3 mph, do not spray. • Use smoke or powder to indicate particle movement. The smoke or powder should drift gently with the wind. If it gathers in a stationary, suspended cloud, that indicates a temperature inversion — do not spray. • Measure the temperature at ground level (approximately 3 feet) and at 7 feet above ground. If the difference is more than a few (3-4) degrees, it is considered an inversion.
The labels for Enlist One ® and Enlist Duo ® herbicides require a downwind buffer from sensitive areas, which may be a habitat for endangered species. To minimize the chance for an Enlist ® herbicide to come in contact with sensitive areas, you must maintain a 30-foot downwind buffer (in the direction in which the wind is blowing) from any area except: 1 Roads (paved or gravel surfaces) 2 Planted agricultural fields (except those crops mentioned in the susceptible crops section)

Agricultural fields that have been prepared for planting
4 Areas covered by the footprint of a building, feed crib or other man-made structure with walls and/ or roof To maintain the required downwind buffer zone, measure wind direction prior to the start of any swath that is within 30 feet of a sensitive area. No application swath can be initiated in or into an area that is within 30 feet of a sensitive area if the wind direction is toward the sensitive area.

Reduce number of applications – reduced number of applications of Enlist ® herbicides per year. Applications may be made at any time during crop development but must maintain a minimum 12-day re-treatment interval.
Sound management of runoff benefits landowners, farmers and the environment. Land managers/ applicators must effectively implement mitigation measures that reduce, to the maximum extent practicable, runoff from treated fields. A variety of factors must be considered, including: • Application scheduling: – Do not apply this product when soil is saturated or at field capacity, or when a storm event likely to produce runoff from the treated area is forecast (by NOAA/National Weather Service, or other similar forecasting service) to occur within 48 hours following application. – Do not irrigate treated field within 48 hours of application. • Soil hydrologic grouping and corresponding mitigation measures – Users must know the soil hydrological type where application is occurring to implement required mitigation measures to prevent runoff. Soils are grouped into one of four categoies based on runoff potential; refer to the Enlist ® herbicide label for futher information about these hydrologic soil group (HSG) categories. – The required minimum criteria described for runoff mitigation measures are outlined at Enlist.com/MitigationMeasures. – The farmer/land manager will achieve mitigation measure “credits” toward the total required by implementing mitigation measures, such as using residue tillage; by managing field strips, buffers and neighboring vegetation; or by using contour farming, as shown in the table.

After applying an Enlist ® herbicide, be sure to clean out the sprayer before making your next application to any other crop. Thorough cleanout of the entire sprayer — including spray tank, boom, screens, filters, hoses and nozzles — is the first step to minimize the potential for sprayer contamination and damage to susceptible crops. Also, remember to keep other equipment, such as pumps, clean before switching to the next product. Follow the most stringent cleanout recommendation of any tank-mix partner included in the tank with an Enlist herbicide.

Successful use of Enlist ® herbicides begins with proper application. Below is a summary of best management practices for applying an Enlist ® herbicide. Visit Enlist.com/Apply to download the application guide. Always read and follow label requirements.
BEFORE SPRAYING
PAY SPECIAL ATTENTION TO WIND AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Application window Apply Enlist ® herbicides within the appropriate growth stage windows. Enlist ® cotton: No later than first white bloom Enlist E3 ® soybeans: Through R1 growth stage Enlist ® corn: No larger than V8 growth stage or 30 inches tall, whichever happens first • Unless applying with drop nozzles, then may spray up to 48 inches tall Tank-mix partners Use multiple, effective sites of action, including partner herbicides. Follow the correct tank-mix sequence as detailed on the label. Glufosinate: Tank-mix Enlist One ® herbicide with a qualified glufosinate herbicide for the toughest broadleaves. Glyphosate herbicides: Tank-mix Enlist One Nozzles Select the best qualified nozzle and pressure that optimizes coverage for your application scenario. View the full list of nozzles for use with Enlist herbicides at Enlist.com/Nozzles. Sprayer contamination Clean your sprayer before using Enlist herbicides to avoid contamination from a prior application. herbicide with a qualified glyphosate herbicide for grasses and glyphosate- susceptible broadleaves
Wind speed, weather Wind speed: Drift potential is lowest at wind speeds less than 10 mph. Target applications at wind speeds greater than 3 mph but less than 10 mph. Caution: Do not apply at wind speeds greater than 15 mph. Consult: Some states have additional restrictions on wind speed. Check your state regulations on wind speed. Temperature inversions: Do not spray during a temperature inversion. Caution: Inversions are more common between dusk and dawn. Susceptible crops Spray when wind is blowing away from susceptible crops listed on the Enlist ® herbicide labels. This includes: tomatoes, fruiting vegetables, cucurbits, grapes, cotton without the Enlist ® trait and tobacco. Caution: There is no acceptable buffer distance when the wind is blowing toward an adjacent susceptible crop. DO NOT SPRAY if wind is blowing toward a susceptible crop.

APPLICATION
Spray volume Use a spray volume of 10 to 15 gallons or more per acre and apply with calibrated ground equipment. Do not apply less than 10 gallons of total spray volume per acre. In general, increase spray volume as crop canopy, height and weed density increase to obtain adequate spray coverage. 3 Special note on tank mix of Enlist One ® + glufosinate: Use a spray volume of 15 to 20 gallons per acre. Do not apply less than 15 gallons of total spray volume per acre. Spray rate Use spray rates from the product labels when weeds are shorter than 6 inches and crops are within the appropriate growth stage window. Enlist Duo ® herbicide: Spray 4.75 pt./A. Enlist One herbicide: Spray 2 pt./A. Spray pressure Use an appropriate spray pressure within the qualified range for optimum coverage. Spraying at the higher end of the labeled psi will provide better coverage. Ground speed, product volume and nozzle selection all factor into the appropriate spray pressure.
Boom height To minimize spray drift potential, maintain a boom height as specified by the nozzle manufacturer, usually 24 inches or less above crop canopy. 4
AFTER SPRAYING
Cleanout After applying an Enlist ® herbicide, follow the proper steps to clean out your sprayer. Triple-rinse is required for all cleanouts unless the next crop you are spraying is glyphosate-resistant corn.
