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.

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.
