New Integrated Refuge Offering Provides Enhanced Weed and
Pest Control in a Single Bag
INDIANAPOLIS, June 6, 2023
/PRNewswire/ -- Corteva Agriscience (NYSE: CTVA) today announced
PowerCore® Enlist® Refuge
Advanced® (RA) corn will be available for planting in
the 2024 growing season in the U.S. and Canada. Farmers will have the added
flexibility of integrated refuge, along with an advanced
combination of above-ground pest control, herbicide tolerance and
industry-leading genetics with PowerCore Enlist RA
corn.1
"This is yet another example of Corteva Agriscience delivering
strong traits to farmers, giving them new options and now offering
the flexibility of integrated refuge," said Tim Glenn, Executive Vice President, Seed
Business Unit, Corteva Agriscience. "We are putting the power
directly in the hands of farmers, so they not only have a
single-bag solution, but they can purchase quality Corteva traits
from their preferred seed supplier."
With three modes of action, PowerCore Enlist RA corn technology
protects against key susceptible above-ground pests.1
Additionally, the product allows for the ultimate weed management
versatility with tolerance to 2,4-D choline, glyphosate,
glufosinate and FOP herbicides. Enlist One® and Enlist
Duo® herbicides are the only 2,4-D choline formulations
that are approved for use on PowerCore Enlist RA. These products
stay on target, have near-zero volatility, and reduce the potential
for drift compared to dicamba and traditional 2,4-D
formulations.
In addition to being available through U.S. Corteva seed brands
– including Pioneer®, Brevant® seeds,
AgVenture®, Dairyland Seed®,
Hoegemeyer®, NuTech Seed® and Seed
Consultants® – PowerCore Enlist RA trait technology will
be available through authorized independent seed companies. In
Canada, the product will be
marketed as PowerCore Enlist corn and available through Pioneer and
Brevant seed brands.
PowerCore Enlist RA corn will be available in a diverse lineup
of genetics across a wide range of maturities. Like all products
developed through Corteva's R&D programs, the PowerCore Enlist
RA corn must pass through rigorous evaluation in several testing
locations. By testing characteristics like root and stalk strength,
late-season standability and disease tolerance, farmers can rest
assured they have a whole-farm solution.
