The Enlist Weed Control System is an agricultural system that includes seeds for genetically modified crops that are resistant to Enlist (a herbicide with two active agents, 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and glyphosate) and the Enlist herbicide; spraying the herbicide will kill weeds but not the resulting crop.〔 The system was developed by Dow AgroSciences, part of Dow Chemical Company. In October 2014 the system was registered for restricted use in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Ohio, South Dakota and Wisconsin by the US Environmental Protection Agency. In 2013, the system was approved by Canada for the same uses The Enlist approach was developed to replace the "Roundup-Ready" system that was introduced in 1996 by Monsanto and which has become less useful with the rise of glyphosate-resistant weeds.〔 ==''Enlist Duo''== ''Enlist Duo'' is an herbicide that contains the choline form of 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and glyphosate plus an unknown number of unlisted ingredients. Dow added chemicals to the mixture in what it termed "Colex-D technology" intended to reduce physical drift, ultraviolet volatility and odor and to improve handling. 2,4-D is one of the most widely used herbicides in the world.〔von Stackelberg K. A Systematic Review of Carcinogenic Outcomes and Potential Mechanisms from Exposure to 2,4-D and MCPA in the Environment. J Toxicol. 2013;2013:371610. PMID 23533401 (PMC 3600329 )〕〔Andrew Pollack for the New York Times. April 9, 2012 ( E.P.A. Denies an Environmental Group’s Request to Ban a Widely Used Weed Killer )〕 2,4-D is volatile and by EPA assessment is a hazardous air pollutant that is difficult to contain. The possibility of herbicide drift is why Dow developed the Colex-D technology, which according to their experiments, significantly reduces drift and damage from evaporation.〔Josh Flint for Prairie Farmer. August 31, 2011 (Dow AgroSciences Names Its Newest Herbicide Offering Enlist Duo )〕 As of 2013 glyphosate was the world's largest-selling herbicide, with sales driven by glyphosate-resistant genetically modified crops.〔China Research & Intelligence, June 5, 2013. (Research Report on Global and China Glyphosate Industry, 2013-2017 )〕 Other countries assessing the system include Brazil, Argentina and various food importing countries. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Enlist Weed Control System」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
