In November, Agri Marketing Magazine announced the Enlist E3™ soybean trait as the “NEW Product of the Year.” The announcement comes after the successful launch of the product in 2019, where growers across the United States welcomed the much-needed alternative in weed control for their fields. Stine® has seen first-hand the benefits the system provides, from exceptional performance to high yields and beyond.
Agri Marketing Magazine notes that “an impartial team of agricultural industry judges” made the ultimate decision to award Enlist E3 new product of the year honors. Judges consisted of retired ag industry execs, ag marketing professionals and university experts. Lynn Henderson, publisher and editorial director of Agri Marketing Magazine notes, “We started the program in 2000 to recognize the exciting new products which are entering the ag market space and well-established products which have had significant impact on production agriculture.” Enlist E3 is developed by MS Technologies™ and Corteva Agriscience™.
At Stine, we’re pleased to offer the industry’s broadest lineup of Enlist E3 soybeans. Combined with the high-yielding genetics that growers have come to expect from Stine, our lineup of Stine Enlist E3 soybeans offer growers exceptional weed control, ease of use and excellent yield. Enlist E3 combines tolerance to a new 2,4-D choline, glyphosate and glufosinate in a three-gene stack. This combination allows growers to tackle even the toughest weeds, including Palmer Amaranth, waterhemp, marestail, giant ragweed and more.
Enlist Duo® herbicide with Colex-D® technology is labeled for use over the top of Enlist E3 soybeans and contains a proprietary blend of glyphosate and Corteva Agriscience’s new 2,4-D choline for unrivaled weed control designed to land and stay on target. In fact, Enlist Duo has been known to cut drift by as much as 90 percent compared to traditional 2,4-D (with low-drift nozzles). It’s also 96 percent less volatile for minimized potential for physical drift.
Final approval of the Enlist E3 trait was received in February 2019. Despite the late start, Stine sold more than 700,000 units of Enlist E3 soybeans for the 2019 planting season, and we’re well on our way to exceed that number in 2020, which is evidence that growers recognize and need this important technology for weed control in soybeans. In fact, we anticipate that Enlist E3 sales will account for roughly 70 percent of our total volume in 2020. We’re excited to offer growers 75 options of Stine Enlist E3 soybeans for the 2020 season, ranging from a 003 to a 53 maturity.
