Help me understand Dow's Enlist Duo
What I think I know.....
Enlist Duo is a combination of 2,4-D and glyphosate
They have developed a corn and soybean that will grow when sprayed with Enlist Duo
1) (I can understand soybeans) BUT I thought you could use 2,4-D on corn up to the 6th leaf stage already. So couldn't a farmer have mixed 2,4-D and glyphosate on the farm and sprayed it on Monsanto seed that is resistant to glyphosate.
Hence I do not understand a new corn seed.
2) I am thinking 2,4-D does not kill grass. So how does Enlist help with glyphosate resistant grasses.
3) Is this gona make Dow the new Monsanto.
4) Doesn't this put our grandchildren one step closer to farming the old way with cultivators as we make weeds resistant to every chemical known to man.
