THE NEW STANDARD FOR WEED CONTROL & YIELD PERFORMANCE

ENLIST® WEED CONTROL SYSTEM

Enlist Duo® and Enlist One® herbicides with Colex-D® technology are the only herbicides containing 2,4-D that are labeled for preemergence and postemergence use on PowerCore® Enlist® corn.

| 2,4-D choline | Glyphosate | Glufosinate | FOP Herbicides

• Convenient proprietary blend of 2,4-D choline and glyphosate

• The two modes of action work together to deliver control of yield-robbing weeds and help prevent resistance

• Straight goods 2,4-D choline with additional tank-mix flexibility

• Provides additional tank-mix flexibility with glyphosate, glufosinate and other qualified tank-mix products, allowing for a customized weed control program to fit each farm

PowerCore® Enlist® Refuge Advanced® Corn PowerCore® trait technology delivers superior control of above-ground insects in corn.

SmartStax® RIB Complete® Corn Blend is a mix of 95% Bt. traited, 5% refuge seed. You get all the benefits of SmartStax® technology, plus the convenience of 5% refuge seed interspersed in every bag. It has proven to have a 10 bu/A advantage over non-Bt. traited corn and a 20 bu/A advantage over non-Bt. treated corn + a soil-applied insecticide.

*In moderate to high rootworm pressure situations, SmartStax® RIB Complete® corn blend products provided an average 20 bu/acre advantage over products without Bt corn rootworm protection and an average 10 bu/acre advantage over products without Bt corn rootworm protection used in combination with a soil-applied insecticide. TD Sites in IL, IA, KS, CO, NE, WI, MI, IN, MN, SD, OH, DE (2010-2013)100-112RM; N = 46 protocol site years under moderate and high CRW pressure. Moderate Pressure = untreated check averaged > 0.5-1.0. High Pressure = locations where untreated check averaged >1.0.

Trecepta® RIB Complete® technology contains Cry1A.105, Cry2Ab2 and Vip3Aa20 from B.t. that together controls European corn borer, southwestern corn borer, southern cornstalk borer, corn earworm, fall armyworm, stalk borer, sugarcane borer, beet armyworm, true armyworm, black cutworm, western bean cutworm, lesser cornstalk borer and dingy cutworm. Products containing this technology also contain Roundup Ready® 2 Technology that provides tolerance to in-crop applications of labeled glyphosate herbicides when applied according to label directions.

DroughtGard® Hybrids with VT Double PRO® RIB Complete® Corn Blend contain the first double-stacked trait with dual modes of action for above ground insects and maximum protection against corn earworm. Superior genetics along with innovative drought-tolerant trait technology helps DroughtGard® Hybrids withstand drought conditions for a better chance of maximizing kernels per ear and overall yield potential.
