Potential crop response after applications of Enlist ® herbicides You may see temporary crop response with Enlist E3 ® soybeans and Enlist ® cotton within a few hours of applying Enlist ® herbicides. This cosmetic response does not impact yield. This “droop” or “sleepy” effect on the crop occurs while the plant is working to metabolize 2,4-D choline. It is more likely to occur in conditions where the plant is stressed, including hot daytime temperatures. The plants metabolize the 2,4-D choline and return to normal typically within 24 to 48 hours.

Some best management practices to reduce potential pesticide exposure to pollinators include: • Protect and enhance nonfarmland pollinator habitat, such as wildflower areas, border areas, and hedge and fencerows. • Understand the pollinator needs for food, shelter and protection from hazards in your operations. • Follow all product label restrictions and recommendations to protect pollinators. • Follow all field planning and application best management practices listed in this guide to fully understand neighboring environments and to reduce potential pesticide exposure to these environments. • Read and implement any required pollinator protection practices as provided by your seed supplier, such as the Corteva™ 2025 Soybean United States Product Use Guide found at TraitStewardship.com. Provisions in Enlist ® herbicide labels intended to minimize the potential of exposure to pollinators include: • Precautionary language in environmental hazard section: – “This product is designed to control certain weeds and if used outside the label requirements may adversely impact the forage and habitat of nontarget organisms, including pollinators, in areas adjacent to the treated site. Protect the forage and habitat of nontarget organisms by following label directions intended to minimize spray drift and runoff.” – “This product is moderately toxic to bees on an acute basis and may cause chronic risk to pollinators or other terrestrial invertebrates. Do not apply this product to blooming vegetation or if bees or other pollinating insects are visiting the treatment area.” • Directions for use: – “Do not apply in soybeans containing the Enlist ® trait after the R1 growth stage.” – “Do not apply to cotton containing the Enlist trait after first white bloom.” – “Follow all label directions in Spray Drift Management and Management of Runoff sections for all applications.” – “Do not apply Enlist herbicide aerially.” – “Do not apply during a temperature inversion.” – “Do not apply with any tank-mix partner that is not listed on EnlistTankMix.com.” – “Use only qualified nozzles.”
• Temporary auxin response • Appears within a few hours of application • Dissipates within 12 to 36 hours • Likely due to rapid effect of 2,4-D in plant prior to metabolism by enzyme • No impact on yield Leaf necrosis
• Appears within one to three days after application • Only affects new growth at time of application • New growth shows no necrosis • No impact on yield Protect pollinators while using Enlist ® herbicides Pollinators — including bees, birds, bats, butterflies, ants and other insects and vertebrates — play a key role in the health of our food systems and environment. Nearly 75% of food crops worldwide — as well as 90% of wild plant species — rely on pollinators. These crops represent between $325 billion and $577 billion worth of food production each year. 10 A healthy pollinator population is one metric by which to measure a diverse ecosystem. Soil health, water quality and biodiversity are all important in delivering ecosystem benefits and an affordable and abundant food supply. Corteva Agriscience actively works to protect the health of both pollinators and the ecosystems they inhabit through a variety of initiatives.
