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.
