The products target tough weeds including PPO-resistant Palmer amaranth and waterhemp, according to [B2B Marketplace](https://www.fibre2fashion.com/news/chemicals-news/germany-s-basf-expands-weed-control-options-for-2027-314564-newsdetails.htm).\n\n## How Voraxor and Zidua PLUS Work\n\nVoraxor uses the new active ingredient trifludimoxizan for fast burndown of tough weeds, with results in days rather than weeks. The herbicide delivers consistent control of problematic weeds such as marestail, henbit, kochia and pigweed, and also demonstrates efficacy on PPO-resistant species including Palmer amaranth and waterhemp.\n\nZidua PLUS can be applied before or after crop emergence in soybean fields, with no fear of burn across trait or soil type. The product manages large- and small-seeded broadleaf weeds and grasses, including waterhemp, Palmer amaranth, redroot pigweed, foxtails and barnyard grass, and maintains more than 95 per cent control after 60 days on key problem species.\n\n\"Voraxor herbicide allows farmers to stay ahead of tough weeds and delivers fast, consistent burndown,\" said Josh Putman, Technical Marketing Manager at BASF Agricultural Solutions. \"By delivering solutions with consistent performance against tough grasses and broadleaf weeds, BASF helps farmers do the Biggest Job on Earth.\"\n\nMatt Inman, also a Technical Marketing Manager at BASF Agricultural Solutions, said: \"We're excited to enhance the tools farmers can use in their soybean fields. Zidua PLUS herbicide is available for pre- or post-emergence application for flexibility and season-long adaptability to changing field conditions.\"\n\n## BASF's Agricultural Business in Company Records\n\nBASF's agricultural solutions segment, which houses the new herbicides, is the subject of a planned initial public offering targeted for 2027, according to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data). The same records show the segment with EBITDA of roughly €2.1 billion and €9.6 billion in 2025 sales, positioned as a key value-unlocking catalyst.\n\n## Earlier BASF Product and Expansion Moves\n\nBASF announced its \"Beyond Beauty: Future Unlocked\" concept at in-cosmetics Asia 2026 in Bangkok, showcasing innovations in collagen science, ingredient delivery and cleansing, Prtimes reported in October 2026. In October 2026, BASF also announced a 50,000-ton capacity expansion for its Neopor graphite-containing insulation, with operations planned for early 2027, FinanzNachrichten.de reported.\n\n## BASF's October 28 Earnings Date\n\nBASF is expected to report quarterly earnings on October 28, 2026, with analysts projecting $0.12 per share and $18.03 billion in revenue, Markets Daily reported.\n","publisher":{"name":"News for Agent","url":"https://newsforagent.com"}}
