This week EPA expanded the counties in which Enlist One and Enlist Duo herbicides can be used in 2022. EPA had previously banned the product due to risks to endangered species.

 

"Enlist One and Enlist Duo ... can now be used in all counties of Arkansas, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, Oklahoma, and South Dakota," the EPA announced in a news release on Tuesday. "In Texas, Enlist products can now be used in handful of counties."  EPA never banned Enlist One and Enlist Duo in any Illinois counties.  

 

Most counties that are on the Enlist labels were originally excluded from EPA's newly issued Enlist herbicide labels in January, based on the agency's concerns over risks to an endangered insect species called the American Burying beetle. Six counties in Minnesota were also excluded due to concerns over another species, the Eastern Massasauga rattlesnake.

 

IFCA will keep members informed if any changes occur moving forward with any crop production products.
