Zidua herbicide provides wheat growers with a powerful tool to fight tough to control weeds such as Italian ryegrass, annual bluegrass and canarygrass. In addition, Zidua herbicide suppresses many broadleaf and grasses in wheat, including brome species, wild oat, foxtail species, kochia, pigweed, chickweed, henbit and wild mustard.
Zidua herbicide was previously registered only for use in corn and soybeans.
“Wheat growers now have access to a new residual tool for long-lasting weed control with Zidua herbicide,” said Greg Armel PhD, technical market manager, BASF. “The pyroxasulfone in Zidua herbicide helps control Italian ryegrass weed populations, even those populations resistant to ALS-inhibitor and ACCase herbicides.”
Zidua herbicide is an inhibitor of very long-chain fatty acids, which controls susceptible germinating seedlings as they emerge from the soil. It is recommended for use in wheat as a delayed pre-emergence or post-emergence application. Zidua herbicide is an outstanding tank-mix partner for growers seeking extra residual activity on tough weeds in wheat.
