The Dow Chemical Company is confident that the Enlist Duo herbicide will be reapproved by the Environmental Protection Agency in time for the 2016 crop season. EPA filed a motion to vacate the registration of the herbicide last week. CEO of Dow AgroSciences, Tim Hassinger, says they believe questions regarding the product “can be promptly resolved in the next few months,” but added that it is possible there could be some changes to use conditions on the existing Enlist Duo label. The company continues to prepare for commercial sales for 2016. Enlist Duo contains two popular herbicide ingredients, glyphosate and 2-4-D. The EPA pulled the registration of the product last week after it says new data showed the combination to be more toxic than originally thought. Enlist Duo was approved for use in a select number of states with more expected to follow suit before the EPA pulled the registration last week.
