Many Georgia growers are very familiar with the Enlist® (i.e. 2,4-D choline) weed control systems for soybean and cotton. However, I have not talked very much about the Enlist® weed control system for field corn. This was primarily due to the fact that there was not a good Enlist® corn hybrid adapted for the SE. I recently learned that Pioneer now has one (P13777PWUE). Check out this 2024 yield data from Pioneer:
Consequently, some Georgia growers might now be more interested in trying the Enlist® field corn weed control system (on a limited basis). A few thoughts about this system:
1) I have not conducted very many weed control trials with the Enlist® system. My weed science research colleague in Athens (Dr. Nick Basinger) has. Between his work and mine, it looks like a pretty good weed control system. I will be conducting additional trials this year. Check out the following picture from a field trial I conducted in 2018:
2) Enlist® field corn hybrids are tolerant to 4 different herbicides including 2,4-D choline, Roundup® (glyphosate), Liberty® (glufosinate), and Assure® II (quizalofop).
3) P13777PWUE has the following characteristics:
4) Because of the previous lack of adapted field corn hybrids, I do not have any specific information listed in the 2025 UGA Pest Control Handbook. But, I will update for 2026.
