New Integrated Refuge Offering Provides Enhanced Weed and Pest Control in a Single Bag

INDIANAPOLIS, IN., June 6, 2023 — Corteva Agriscience today announced PowerCore^® Enlist^® Refuge Advanced^® (RA) corn will be available for planting in the 2024 growing season in the U.S. This allows AgVenture to offer farmers the added flexibility of integrated refuge, along with an advanced combination of above-ground pest control, herbicide tolerance and industry-leading genetics with PowerCore Enlist RA corn.¹

“This is yet another example of Corteva Agriscience delivering strong traits to farmers, giving them new options and now offering the flexibility of integrated refuge,” said Tim Glenn, Executive Vice President, Seed Business Unit, Corteva Agriscience. “We are putting the power directly in the hands of farmers, so they not only have a single-bag solution, but they can purchase quality Corteva traits from their preferred seed supplier.”

With three modes of action, PowerCore Enlist RA corn technology protects against key susceptible above-ground pests.1 Additionally, the product allows for the ultimate weed management versatility with tolerance to 2,4-D choline, glyphosate, glufosinate and FOP herbicides. Enlist One® and Enlist Duo® herbicides are the only 2,4-D choline formulations that are approved for use on PowerCore Enlist RA. These products stay on target, have near-zero volatility, and reduce the potential for drift compared to dicamba and traditional 2,4-D formulations.

“I’m excited that growers will have access to elite AgVenture brand corn hybrids containing the PowerCore® Enlist® Refuge Advanced® trait package for 2024 planting. Our network of locally owned and operated Independent Seed Companies work closely with their growers to recommend the right products for their operations and boost performance by utilizing strategies in our Maximum Profit System™,” says Darren Bakken, AgVenture’s Corn Lead and Product Portfolio Manager.

AgVenture will ramp up sales of PowerCore Enlist RA corn over the next several years, as we work to provide farmers this unique trait package in a diverse lineup of genetics across a wide range of maturities. Like all products developed through Corteva’s R&D programs, the PowerCore Enlist RA corn must pass through rigorous evaluation in several testing locations. By testing characteristics like root and stalk strength, late-season standability and disease tolerance, farmers can rest assured they have a whole-farm solution.
