Research Triangle Park, NC — Every year you face countless variables: commodity prices, resistant weeds, volatile growing conditions and disease pressures to name a few. In most industries, that much unpredictability would be devastating. For soybean farmers like you, it’s another day in the life.
While so much can change, some things stay the same in your fields.
“One constant threat, season after season, is weed pressure. Soybean farmers need flexibility, with options that help them to adapt to different growing conditions,” says Matt Inman, Technical Marketing Manager at BASF.
Enter Zidua brand herbicides to help you stay ahead of your 2026 challenges.
Zidua brand herbicides make your choice of herbicide an easy one — especially because they set the standard for long-lasting weed control before it was the expectation.
“With the Zidua brand herbicide portfolio, you have options that can lead the charge against tough weeds in soybeans,” says Inman.
The portfolio’s three products meet the season’s evolving needs with lasting solutions for your soybean acres and powerful residual protection against resistant weeds like Palmer amaranth, waterhemp and Italian ryegrass.
Looking for a Clean Start?
Zidua PRO herbicide gives soybeans a strong foundation and long-lasting pre-emergence residual control. Three modes of action provide comprehensive protection against early-season weeds, plus rapid burndown activity that gives you a stronger start for even stronger finishes.
“Zidua PRO herbicide is comprehensive,” says Inman. “It provides long-lasting residual activity and powerful burndown in one complete solution.”
No More Tradeoffs
Zidua PLUS herbicide — launching in 2026* — will bring application flexibility, comprehensive weed control and residual endurance to soybeans with two modes of action. Zidua PLUS will be able to be applied from pre-plant through post-emergence, so you can take control back of your acres.
“When Zidua PLUS herbicide is registered, it will provide the long-lasting residual benefits of Zidua PRO herbicide with flexibility of pre- or post-emergence application. That’s because Zidua PRO herbicide can’t be applied once soybeans emerge,” says Inman.
Need a Follow-Up that Follows Through?
Zidua SC herbicide is your trusted, go-to solo Group 15 herbicide follow-up for extended post-emergent control in a single mode of action. When combined in tank mixes with other post-emergence knockdowns like Liberty ULTRA herbicide, Zidua SC herbicide provides the residual control of a post-emergence application well into the season.
“We’re looking to overlap residuals to keep weeds from germinating, using Zidua SC herbicide as a straightforward, effective option to provide the residual control of weeds that have not emerged in post-emergence applications,” says Inman.
Make the Lasting Choice
No matter the challenges you face this season, one constant remains: weed competition. The Zidua brand herbicide portfolio delivers consistent, long-lasting weed control with the adaptability you need to face uncertain conditions.
As you prepare for the season, make the lasting choice with Zidua brand herbicides.
