A federal court has denied the Environmental Protection Agency’s motion to vacate the registration of Enlist Duo, Dow AgroSciences’ new herbicide.
In a short statement issued by the company, Dow AgroSciences says it will “continue to work cooperatively with the U.S. EPA concerning Enlist Duo.”
As a result of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeal decision, Dow can continue to market the product and the registration for Enlist Duo remains in place for all labeled uses.
EPA approved Enlist Duo in several states over a year ago, but last fall filed to revoke the registration, saying its assessment of the product’s two active ingredients was incomplete.
Enlist Duo combines glyphosate with the herbicide 2,4-D, for use on corn and soybeans.
