New Glyphosate-Resistant Problem. New Solution. Meet Diligent™.
Protect your soybeans from waterhemp and other weeds with Diligent™ herbicide. Waterhemp is a new, aggressive, glyphosate-resistant weed that has swept across the Midwest and made its way into Ontario and Quebec. Diligent™ provides the defense you need, plus the flexibility to tank-mix with glyphosate and other residual herbicides. Don’t let waterhemp mess with your yield.
