Friends-
You may have seen some media coverage on Enlist Duo this morning. In a 9th Circuit Court of Appeals court filing by the EPA in a case filed by the Natural Resources Defense Council and the Center for Food Safety against Dow AgroSciences and EPA over the regulatory approval of Enlist Duo, EPA asked the Court to vacate its registration of Enlist Duo.
Dow AgroSciences is confident in the extensive data supporting Enlist Duo herbicide. We are working with EPA to quickly provide further assurances that our product’s conditions of registered use will continue to protect crops from resistant weeds without doing harm to non-target plants, including threatened and endangered plant species. Recognizing the pressing needs of U.S. farmers for access to Enlist Duo to counter the rapidly increasing spread of resistant weeds – and in light of the comprehensive nature of the regulatory assessments already conducted to support the Enlist Duo registration – we expect that these new evaluations will result in a prompt resolution of all outstanding issues.
We will have additional information for you all next week, after the holiday, so I'll be in touch more then.
Thank you for your continued support and have a Happy Thanksgiving!
Thanks again,
Megan
