Dow’s Enlist Approved in Canada
20 May 2013 
Dow AgroSciences LLC announced last week that Health Canada’s Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) has approved Enlist Duo herbicide with Colex-D Technology for use in Canada. This approval, which makes Canada the first nation to authorize the herbicide, is a milestone for the company’s Enlist Weed Control System which combines innovative traits, herbicides and stewardship.
The Enlist corn and Enlist soybean traits were approved for food, feed and environmental release by Health Canada and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency in October 2012. With the Enlist Duo herbicide registration by the PMRA, both components of the Enlist Weed Control System in corn and soybeans now have been approved for use in Canada.
Dow AgroSciences plans to ramp up seed production and its supply of Enlist Duo herbicide with Colex-D Technology to support the anticipated Enlist launch. Dow AgroSciences is working with regulatory agencies in key export geographies to advance commercialization of Enlist corn and soybeans now in Canada.
“Managing hard-to-control and resistant weeds is one of the biggest problems farmers are facing, and Enlist is a solution they need to continue moving farming forward,” said Stan Howell, vice president, North America, Dow AgroSciences. “The Enlist Duo herbicide approval in Canada validates the robust innovation we are bringing forward for our customers who tell us the need for new weed-control tools becomes more urgent every season.”
