If you’re planting Enlist E3® soybeans or PhytoGen Enlist® cotton this year and need to control waterhemp or Palmer amaranth, Snyder recommends a postemergence tank mix of Enlist One® and Liberty® herbicides. With this tank mix, you can spray on your schedule with no calendar cutoff dates — through R1 on Enlist E3 soybeans and early bloom on Enlist cotton.
“A tank mix of Enlist One and Liberty herbicides is the most effective and powerful postemergence treatment to control weeds like Palmer amaranth, waterhemp and kochia,” Snyder says. “In 2020 trials, we saw this tank mix dominate waterhemp and Palmer amaranth.”
Snyder stresses three important factors to achieve these results:
- Spray weeds when they’re small, 3 to 4 inches.
- Don’t cut herbicide rates.
- Always use multiple modes of action.
The flexibility of Enlist One herbicide lets you customize a program approach to weed control. With a tank mix of Enlist One and Liberty herbicides, you get two modes of action working together to tackle the same weed without the concern of acidification in the tank. That means you get powerful weed control without impacting the inherent near-zero volatility of 2,4-D choline in Enlist One herbicide.
To optimize this tank mix, ensure you’re following these guidelines before you spray this season:
Liberty herbicide is the preferred glufosinate of the Enlist weed control system to allow farmers more flexibility and weed control options.
