Chemical giant DuPont Co. has gone on the offensive. Growers who claim the DuPont fungicide Benlate 50 DF damaged or destroyed their crops filed more than 600 lawsuits in the early 1990s.

Recently DuPont cried foul, saying the growers have no right to sue the company again. The growers are breaching their settlement agreements with DuPont, the company says.
