Dow AgroSciences said Enlist will not be stacked with the first generation of Monsanto’s Roundup Ready trait for soybeans, but only “more advanced” traits. The company’s Enlist soybeans, which are engineered to tolerate both glyphosate and 2,4-D, are set to go on sale next year.
The market continues to move to advanced glyphosate traits since they were introduced because they have been “proven to outperform the original Roundup Ready trait,” Dow said, adding that technology with newer glyphosate traits, including Roundup Ready 2 Yield and Enlist E3 soybeans, show no yield drag or lag.
陶氏益农一直在举办 Enlist 技术实地日和会议，讨论 Enlist 特性家族的许可问题。陶氏称，独立种子公司大豆单位销量超过 85% 的种子公司员工参加了这些活动，并表示对许可该技术非常感兴趣，这主要是受市场需求和种植者需求的推动。两家独立的种子公司 Stine Seed Company 和 Merschman Seeds, Inc. 已承诺出售 Enlist E3 大豆。陶氏说，其他领先的大豆种子公司也表达了浓厚的兴趣。
“We’ve taken a close look at Enlist, and we like what we see,” says Joseph H. Merschman, president and founder, Merschman Seeds, Inc. “It’s a first-class technology. The herbicide is the full package — great weed control and it’s designed to stay where you put it. The traits perform very well and protect the crop. And the germplasm is high quality. That’s the kind of product we want to offer to our growers.”
“Enlist soybeans with Roundup Ready 2 Yield and Enlist E3 soybeans — which feature an advanced glyphosate technology owned by MS Technologies — are our chosen trait platforms moving forward,” says Damon Palmer, Marketing Director, U.S. Seeds, Dow AgroSciences. “Without question, these are the best trait packages coming to market. Growers should know they can farm with confidence with the Enlist system.”
