Below is a description of Enlist Duo, a new weed control system for soybeans which you may or may not have heard of. The system consists of a new genetically modified soybean seed and Enlist Duo post-emergent herbicide. Please read the description carefully and answer the following questions.
|
|
Enlist Duo Weed Control System Enlist Duo is a proprietary blend of glyphosate and a new 2,4-D. The product will be used to control weeds in corn and soybeans genetically engineered to tolerate the 2,4-D and glyphosate combination. Enlist Duo™ herbicide with Colex-D™ Technology is key to the performance of the Enlist™ Weed Control System. Enlist Duo combines two proven herbicides for exceptional control of a broad spectrum of weeds — including hard-to-control and resistant weeds. In addition, Enlist Duo offers advanced technology that reduces the potential for off-target movement and improves handling. |

|
|
|
* Assuming Enlist Duo is approved for use both nationally and internationally and you could get all the characteristics of your current soybean seed varieties, how likely would you be to try it on your soybean acres in the first year it’s available? |
| |
|
|
|
|
| * On what percent of your soybean acres would you use Enlist Duo the first year it’s available? | | |
|
|
|
|
| * Suppose you tried Enlist Duo soybean weed control system and found the seed performed agronomically the same as other soybean varieties on your farm. On what percent of your soybean acres would you use the Enlist Duo weed control system in the second year? | | |
|
|
|
|
| * And on what percent of your soybean acres would you use the Enlist Duo weed control system in the third year? | | |
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Suppose you saw successful field trials of Enlist Duo weed control system in your area the first year it’s available. Assuming you could get all the characteristics of your current soybean seed, how likely would you be to try Enlist Duo on some of your soybean acres the following season? |

Roundup Ready Xtend Weed Control System
Roundup Ready 2 Xtend is a new weed control system that includes soybean seed and a post-emergent herbicide blend of Dicamba and glyphosate. Xtend will provide tolerance to dicamba and glyphosate herbicides, offering farmers more consistent, flexible weed control, especially tough-to-manage and glyphosate-resistant weeds.
