Natural Color Variation
Some farmers may see a brown band or shadow on the seed coat of some Enlist E3™ soybeans. This color variation occurs from the combination of iron and isoflavones, both of which are naturally present in soybeans.
Learn MoreEnlist E3™ soybeans* are the newest tool to help farmers control weeds and protect yield potential, which is a major challenge in agriculture today. That’s because weeds compete with soybeans for nutrients, sunlight and moisture — and heavy weed pressure reduces yield, and may require additional control measures by farmers.
Protecting yield potential
Enlist E3™ soybeans enable the use of Enlist™ herbicides to help control weeds and protect yield potential.
The Color of Soybeans
Soybeans naturally appear in a wide range of colors. Over time, farmers and plant breeders have grown more light-colored yellow soybeans in response to market preference but some color variation still exists.
An Important Tool for Farmers
The agronomic performance, nutritional composition and safety of Enlist E3™ soybeans is comparable to non-Enlist E3™ soybeans. And because they enable outstanding weed control as part of the Enlist™ weed control system, Enlist E3™ soybeans are an excellent tool to help boost farmer productivity.
