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.

Apply with Confidence Using Enlist™ Herbicides

Enlist™ 1 controls more than 40 broadleaf weeds and offers tank-mix flexibility and the ability to adjust the rates of glyphosate or glufosinate for hard-to-control and resistant weeds.

  7. Flush chem handlers and lines between products if applicable

Mixing Enlist™ 1 with Glufosinate

  1. Start with a clean sprayer and ½ tank of water

Tank Cleanout

After applying an Enlist herbicide, a triple-rinse cleanout procedure is required, as outlined on the product label. 


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
