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.* 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. Best Management Practices To Reduce Potential Pesticide Exposure To Pollinators: • 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 Agriscience ™ 2025 Soybean United States Product Use Guide found at TraitStewardship.com .
