View the full list of nozzles for use with Enlist herbicides at Enlist.com/Nozzles. Sprayer contamination Clean your sprayer before using Enlist herbicides to avoid contamination from a prior application. herbicide with a qualified glyphosate herbicide for grasses and glyphosate- susceptible broadleaves
Wind speed, weather Wind speed: Drift potential is lowest at wind speeds less than 10 mph. Target applications at wind speeds greater than 3 mph but less than 10 mph. Caution: Do not apply at wind speeds greater than 15 mph. Consult: Some states have additional restrictions on wind speed. Check your state regulations on wind speed. Temperature inversions: Do not spray during a temperature inversion. Caution: Inversions are more common between dusk and dawn. Susceptible crops Spray when wind is blowing away from susceptible crops listed on the Enlist ® herbicide labels. This includes: tomatoes, fruiting vegetables, cucurbits, grapes, cotton without the Enlist ® trait and tobacco. Caution: There is no acceptable buffer distance when the wind is blowing toward an adjacent susceptible crop. DO NOT SPRAY if wind is blowing toward a susceptible crop.
