EPA expands the use of Enlist products for the 2022 growing season

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has lifted county-level bans on the use of Enlist One and Enlist Duo following a thorough review of a proposed label amendment.  The two herbicides used to control weeds in conventional and genetically modified corn and soybean crops can now be used in all counties of Arkansas, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, Oklahoma, and South Dakota. 

The announcement was welcomed by the nation’s growers groups, which say they are hopeful the decision has provided EPA a good learning opportunity to instruct future registration decisions. 

Arkansas farmer and president of the American Soybean Association Brad Doyle says the county-level bans that were announced earlier this year had growers in those areas anxious and frustrated, especially where inputs are scarce and costs are sky-high.

National Corn Growers Association president Chris Edgington says the association is thankful that EPA expeditiously reviewed the data and lifted the corresponding restrictions.

There are some counties where the use of Enlist One and Enlist Duo remain prohibited, those can be found on the label of both products.
