Less than a year after first approving the use of Enlist Duo , manufactured by Dow Chemical Co., the EPA told a federal appeals court that it is reversing its decision while it evaluates new information about possible harm from the chemical's use. "The agency has received new information from Dow AgroSciences - the registrant of Enlist Duo - that suggests two active ingredients could result in greater toxicity to non-target plants," EPA spokeswoman Monica Lee said in a statement following a Wednesday court filing in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.
