The Next Generation of Weed Control: Introducing Liberty^® ULTRA Herbicide

As farmers face the ever-growing challenge of resistant weeds, the need for effective and innovative solutions has never been more critical. Farmers are seeking reliable, effective weed control tools.

Enter Liberty^® ULTRA herbicide, the best Liberty yet. The unique formulation of Liberty ULTRA herbicide will help ensure U.S. farmers can manage even the toughest weed challenges with confidence.

Matt Malone, Liberty ULTRA herbicide product manager, emphasizes the significance of this new tool: “Liberty ULTRA is not just another herbicide; it’s a game-changer.”

The standout feature of Liberty ULTRA herbicide is the innovative Liberty^® Lock Formulation. This breakthrough technology locks droplets onto leaves and penetrates weeds. Liberty Lock is why Liberty ULTRA herbicide weed control outperforms generic glufosinate. Once on the leaves, the patent-pending formulation drives nearly three times more herbicide into weeds¹ compared to generic glufosinate, ensuring that farmers achieve maximum efficacy with every application. In head-to-head comparisons, Liberty ULTRA herbicide wins nine out of ten times, delivering an average of 20% superior weed control² compared to generics. With its outstanding performance, Liberty ULTRA herbicide allows farmers to focus on their operations rather than battling weeds.

Liberty herbicide is likely to be many farmers’ most critical herbicide in 2025. Now, thanks to BASF’s Glu-L™ Technology, farmers and retailers can cover more acres with every gallon by choosing Liberty ULTRA herbicide. This revolutionary technology refines the active ingredient to its most herbicidally active components. With a 24-29 fl oz/A recommended use rate for corn, cotton and soy, farmers and retailers stand to cover 50% more acres than generics. Every box, bottle, tote and tank is now more efficient thanks to Glu-L Technology, making Liberty ULTRA herbicide more convenient for every customer.

When choosing an herbicide, the quality of its ingredients and formulation is critical, but so is the team supporting it. Liberty ULTRA herbicide is backed by the BASF team — specifically, the local sales teams who have been rated #1 by farmers for three consecutive years³. Farmers know they can rely on our local sales teams and their dedication to providing support and expertise on BASF products. 

Liberty ULTRA herbicide is more than just a new product; it’s a vital tool in the fight against resistant weeds. With its advanced formulation, outstanding performance and ease of use, it is designed to meet the needs of modern agriculture. Farmers can trust Liberty ULTRA herbicide to help deliver best-in-class weed control, allowing them to grow their crops with confidence and efficiency.

As Malone notes, “The value that Liberty ULTRA brings to farmers is incredible, making it an essential addition to their weed management strategies.” With Liberty ULTRA herbicide, the future of weed control looks bright, and farmers can look forward to a more productive and prosperous season ahead.
