BASF Zidua

Phalaris is the toughest weed and it has changed over the past several years by developing resistance to herbicides with different modes of action. Zidua® overcomes this from 1st day itself, providing growers with superior, long-lasting residual tool to manage resistant Phalaris coupled with excellent crop selectivity. Now it’s time for you to change your farming practice and apply Zidua®. Zidua is recommended for weed control in Soybean and corn along with wheat.

How it works?
Zidua® is applied as pre-emergence herbicide with combination of Stomp EC. Its root thinning activity keeps Phalaris population and growth under control so that it will not compete with wheat. Irrigation at 21st day controls the already emerged Phalaris and it works as a residual herbicide and gets absorbed through growing roots of Phalaris which leads to a significant long duration control. Zidua® and Stomp EC herbicides, with their combination of two different modes of action, help growers in resistance management in the long term.


Benefits

• Superior management of resistant Phalaris: Unique mode of action- long term sustainable solution for resistant Phalaris
• Solution for long duration Phalaris management: Excellent management of Phalaris from 1st Day
• Excellent crop safety: Safe Weed management solution for wheat

Precautions

• Irrigation before 21st day is critical for Zidua which will ensure long duration control
• Using right spray technology is important to assure uniform coverage of soil, hence use the herbicide nozzles and 200 litres water volume per acre
• Field should have good tilth and it should be free from clods
• Not recommended in Zero tillage and Happy seeder field
• Field should be free from cracks and standing water
