Enlist® E3™ Soybeans: A Confident, Flexible Approach to Weed Control
Mar 13, 2026
Managing weeds effectively—especially resistant ones—requires flexibility, confidence, and a system that works with your operation. Enlist® E3™ soybeans are designed to give growers more options, more control, and greater peace of mind throughout the growing season.
With built-in tolerance to 2,4-D choline, glufosinate, and glyphosate, Enlist E3 soybeans allow you to use multiple modes of action to control tough weeds while helping reduce the risk of herbicide resistance.
Why Choose Enlist® E3™ Soybeans?
Enlist E3 soybeans offer robust weed management that fits seamlessly into modern agronomic practices. Key benefits include:
- Tolerance to 2,4-D choline, glufosinate, and glyphosate
- Flexibility to use multiple modes of action for improved weed control
- Ability to apply approved Enlist herbicides pre-plant and in-crop
- Support for managing hard-to-control and resistant weeds
- Reduced weed competition during critical crop growth stages
This flexibility allows growers to tailor weed control to field conditions while maintaining strong agronomic practices.

A Program Approach to Weed Control
The greatest success with Enlist E3 soybeans comes from using Enlist herbicides as part of a total weed management program. This includes:
- Burndown, pre-emergence, and post-emergence applications where appropriate
- Including broad-spectrum soil residual herbicides to reduce resistance pressure
- Following all label use rates and seasonal limits
Important label reminders:
- Do not apply more than 3.5L/ac of Enlist Duo or 1.46 L/ac of Enlist 1 per use season
- Do not apply more than 2 post-emergence applications per use season
- Maintain a minimum of 12 days between post-emergence applications
