As stated above.Use the Enlist to be on label.The 2/4d in the Enlist has a safener added that regular 2/4d ester or amine does not.Not saying that you cannot use the ester or amine 2/4d without damage to your beans but is that not why we are fighting resistant weeds now? Because people did not use labeled rates of labeled chemicals available? I have a pallet of Freelexx in my shop.That is the new 2/4d used in Enlist,I could use it in my soybeans but it is not labeled because it does not have the added safener.If too many people do use it off label,then I will lose a very good pasture weed control product because they will quit selling it in that form.I remember my Uncle,years ago in an argument with my Dad." No need for a quart of Roundup per acre when 22ounces kills everything"! My Dad died farming,my Uncle is a lobbyist in Washington now.True.
Non sequitur.
As far as I know, there's no safener in 2,4D choline, it's a different formulation that doesn't volitalize. The soybeans can handle heavy rates of any form of 2,4D, the problem is that the other formulations volitalize.
And I don't think that the form of 2,4D really matters as far as weed resistance goes, the problem there is too much reliance on 2,4D over and over again. |
