Syngenta and MS Technologies announce Enlist E3 Expansion

Syngenta and MS Technologies, LLC announced Enlist E3 Expansion soybeans during the Commodity Classic 2026 in the United States. The new technology increases herbicide tolerance and is expected to reach the market in 2029, following regulatory approvals.

The company says the set of characteristics includes tolerance to glyphosate, glufosinate, 2,4-D choline, and multiple HPPD inhibitors.

The package also includes pre-emergent tolerance to HPPD inhibitors, such as mesotrione, bicyclopyrone, and isoxaflutole.

According to the companies, the technology combines productive potential with greater flexibility in weed management. The increased tolerance allows for the inclusion of molecules already used in corn, without increasing the complexity of the production system.

Following regulatory approval, Syngenta plans to release cultivars under the Golden Harvest and NK Seeds brands and license materials through GreenLeaf Genetics. MS Technologies intends to market through Stine Seed Company, Merschman Seeds, and Latham Hi-Tech Seeds, in addition to licensing through Peterson Genetics.
