Why monitoring compliance is important
Stewardship is achieved by your adherence to the Technology Use Agreement, Product Use Guides and all applicable product labels. Identifying fields where Enlist ® crops are grown and what herbicides are applied to these fields is key information required to monitor compliance. Through third-party surveys and on-farm assessments, farmers may receive a request for information about fields planted with Enlist crops and herbicides used. Failure to follow stewardship requirements will result in action by Corteva Agriscience that may include requiring additional education and training, monitoring, and up to and including loss of access to the technology. Anonymous Tip Line for reporting suspected non-compliant product use. Growers and others can anonymously report unauthorized use of non-Enlist 2,4-D products with Enlist crops — as well as misuse of seed technology like bin-run/saved seed — by contacting an industry tip line established by the Seed Innovations and Protection Alliance (SIPA) at (844) 733-3847 or by visiting SeedipAlliance.com.

Seed coat Understanding seed coat color variation in Enlist E3 ® soybeans In addition to ease of use, exceptional weed control and high yield potential with Enlist E3 ® soybeans, farmers may occasionally see a seed coat color variation. This color variation in Enlist E3 soybeans is from naturally occurring substances found in soybeans. It typically appears as a light brown band connecting ends of the hilum and/or light brown shadows on each side of the hilum. It can range from very slight to a darker tint and varies in frequency, geography, growing season (year to year) and position on the plant or within pods. The seed coat color variation is not due to application of herbicides, such as 2,4-D choline. Effective Sept. 1, 2023, the Agricultural Marketing Service revised the table of Grade Limits and Breakpoints for soybeans to remove soybeans of other colors as an official factor for the United States Standards for Soybeans.
Corteva Agriscience is committed to protecting Enlist ® herbicides and Enlist ® traits. In cases of confirmed misuse or inappropriate promotion, along with education, the following can occur:
• Potentially reporting illegal use to State/ Federal agencies and/or seeking restitution.
• Restricting grower access to seed technology.
