1) Enlist One, from Dow Agrosciences, is a new 2,4-D choline formulation registered for use on Enlist crops (2,4-D tolerant). As you may recall, Enlist Duo is a pre-mixture of glyphosate + 2,4-D choline. According to my secret sources, Enlist cotton varieties were planted on ~2% of the acreage in Georgia. A copy of the Enlist One label can be viewed or downloaded from the following location: http://www.cdms.net/ldat/ldE27000.pdf. I am not sure yet what the final shakeout is with the Dow/Dupont merger.
2) FMC has acquired the following herbicides from DuPont: Affinity, Agility, Ally, Express, Finesse, FirstShot, Glean, Harmony, Harmony Extra, Panoflex, Sentrallas, Upbeet.
3) Agrium/Crop Production Services (CPS) has acquired 20 Southern States locations in Georgia and Florida.
4) BASF is buying Bayer's seed business (canola, cotton, soybean) and Liberty-Link business.
5) If interested, final results from my 2017 weed control field trials can be found at the following location: http://gaweed.com/reports.html
