Soy Color Variation

Enlist 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.

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.

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.
