Benefits of Liberty® ULTRA

Better Weed Control

  • New Liberty® Lock Formulation locks 3x more herbicide into pigweed vs generic glufosinate.1
  • Wins 9 out of 10 head-to-heads and provides 20% superior weed control versus generics.2
  • Half as likely as a generic glufosinate to require a respray.2

Easier Handling

  • BASF's Glu-L Technology enables a reduced use rate. Less volume needed, more acres treated.
  • A convenient 24-29 fl oz recommended rate range on corn, cotton and soybean.
  • Every gallon of Liberty ULTRA herbicide covers 50% more acres than generics at max rates.

Backed by the Best

  • BASF triple tests our Liberty products to ensure every gallon consistently performs.
  • BASF's industry leading R&D investment is how innovations like Liberty ULTRA herbicide are discovered.
  • BASF's local sales team continues to be rated #1 by farmers.3

Glu-L™ Technology Enables Easier Handling with Liberty ULTRA

Glu-L Technology Refines Glufosinate: The patented manufacturing process transforms glufosinate inefficiencies and makes room in formulation loading to allow a use rate reduction of Liberty® ULTRA herbicide vs generic glufosinate

Boosts Operational Efficiency: Lower use rate boosts operational efficiency to allow applicators to cover more acres and make more applications

Liberty ULTRA herbicide, Powered by Glu-L Technology allows you to do more with less product

Racemic Glufosinate

All generic glufosinate today

Glufosinate products consist of active L-glufosinate ammonium and inactive D-glufosinate ammonium.

Glu-L Technology

Isolate then transform

Glu-L Technology isolates, then transforms D-glufosinate into active L-glufosinate ammonium. 

Resolved Isomer of Glufosinate 

Liberty ULTRA herbicide

This result is a new, significantly more efficient product. 

  

How the Liberty® Lock Formulation Improves Weed Control

The Liberty Lock Formulation, designed specifically for Liberty ULTRA herbicide improves performance by boosting droplet coverage, dispersion and retention ultimately driving 3x more active ingredient into pigweed vs generic glufosinate.

  

Liberty ULTRA Outperforms Generic Glufosinate

The Liberty Lock Formulation locks spray droplets onto leaves and into weeds and is responsible for the 20% weed control advantage of Liberty ULTRA over generic glufosinate.

   

Crop Program Recommendation

Liberty ULTRA is the best, most flexible knockdown herbicide available across the majority of corn, soybean, cotton and canola acres. Set up Liberty ULTRA for success in a robust herbicide program that includes residual herbicides at planting and in postemergence applications.  

Soybean (Enlist® E3)

By using Liberty ULTRA herbicide as part of the Enlist E3 system, farmers will obtain superior weed control and do their part to sustain long-term efficacy. Additionally, they should include layering their residual herbicides and incorporate multiple, effective herbicide modes of action (MOA).

Soybean (XtendFlex®)

Liberty ULTRA herbicide should be used as part of the total XtendFlex system approach with the addition of pre and post residual herbicides as well as multiple, effective herbicide MOA.

Cotton

Liberty ULTRA herbicide is available for across today's cotton trait platforms, including Axant™ Flex, Enlist, GlyTol®, LibertyLink and XtendFlex, and should be used as part of a comprehensive, integrated weed management program that includes pre- and post-residual herbicides.
