More Flexibility for Your Corn Acres
Enlist® corn gives you the ultimate weed management flexibility with four robust herbicide trait tolerances — including powerful 2,4-D choline in Enlist herbicides to get effective, neighbor-friendly weed control. Unlock the first-ever 2,4-D and FOP trait tolerances on acres of Enlist corn — providing you with additional modes of action to control broadleaves and grasses.
Multiple Herbicide Tolerance
The Enlist® weed control system offers tolerance to glyphosate, glufosinate, 2,4-D choline, and FOPS for maximum flexibility in weed management.
Glyphosate Tolerance
AgVenture brand corn hybrids with the Roundup Ready® Corn 2 gene provide resistance to glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup® herbicide.
Glufosinate Tolerance
AgVenture brand corn hybrids with the LibertyLink® gene provide in-plant resistance to glufosinate, a nonselective, postemergence herbicide that offers relatively quick contact action on many tough grass and broadleaf weeds.
