“We are excited to be adding Zidua to our growing portfolio of herbicide innovations,” said Nevin McDougall, Senior Vice President, BASF Crop Protection, North America. “Zidua is a new class of herbicide chemistry, and represents a step change in its mode of action group, delivering greater breadth and depth of weed control.”
Zidua will provide growers long-lasting, broad-spectrum, residual control of key grass and broadleaf weeds with flexibility across a broad application window. Zidua will also be an excellent tool for controlling tough weeds, including those found resistant to multiple herbicide modes of action, such as Palmer amaranth, waterhemp, Italian ryegrass and others plaguing growers today.
