Status® Herbicide
Knock Out Tough Weeds
Don’t wait for a rescue treatment this season. Put performance first with a planned post-emergence application of Status® herbicide, containing the only Group 19 herbicide in corn for faster, more complete control.
Status herbicide delivers proven, rapid knockdown of nearly 200 broadleaf weeds in corn. When used as part of your season-long weed control strategy, Status herbicide can help to eliminate weed competition, including HPPD-resistant biotypes, and help reduce the weed seed bank for future seasons.
Take control of your corn acres with a proactive, planned application of Status herbicide.
Unique Technology: Diflufenzopyr & Safener Advantage
Status herbicide features a unique combination of two powerful active ingredients, diflufenzopyr (DFFP) and dicamba, plus a proven safener.
- DFFP disrupts the hormone balance in weeds, directing and locking dicamba at the growing points for rapid, effective control with less dicamba applied per acre than competing products.
- The built-in safener protects your corn, ensuring superior crop safety even at higher use rates. This allows farmers to target tough weeds without sacrificing yield or agronomic performance.
Target the Toughest Weeds: Palmer Amaranth & Kochia
Status herbicide is specifically engineered to help control tough weeds like Palmer amaranth, kochia, waterhemp and giant ragweed, including various resistant biotypes.
Status herbicide is a strong tool for resistance management as the only Group 19 herbicide available in corn. It’s capable of taking down HPPD-resistant weeds like Palmer amaranth and waterhemp, paving the way for improved yields and agronomic performance. Status herbicide delivers powerful weed control for corn growers without contributing to the overuse of Group 27 chemistries.

Add Residual Control to the Mix with Zidua® SC Herbicide
For maximum performance of your planned weed control program, combine Status herbicide with Zidua® SC herbicide for strong burndown and extended residual control. Additionally, consider adding atrazine or HPPD chemistry to include multiple sites of action in your program
*Always conduct a compatibility jar test and follow label directions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What broadleaf weeds does Status herbicide control?
Status herbicide provides rapid knockdown of nearly 200 broadleaf weeds in corn. It controls tough species including Palmer amaranth, waterhemp, giant ragweed, lambsquarters, velvetleaf, kochia and nightshade.
How does Status herbicide help manage glyphosate and HPPD resistance?
Status herbicide combines dicamba (Group 4) and diflufenzopyr (Group 19) to control weeds resistant to glyphosate and HPPD chemistries. By diversifying sites-of-action, it reduces overreliance on Group 27 herbicides and supports long-term resistance management.
When is the best timing to apply Status herbicide in corn?
Status herbicide has a wide application window from V2 to V8 for post-emergence use in corn. Applying early to small, actively growing weeds delivers the most effective control and helps protect yield potential.
Can Status herbicide be tank mixed with Zidua SC herbicide?
Yes. Status herbicide is a strong tank mix partner with Zidua SC herbicide. Together they deliver rapid burndown plus extended residual for control of resistant weeds like Palmer amaranth and waterhemp, whether emerged or not.
How much yield potential can be preserved with planned post-emergence weed control?
Research shows six-inch weeds can reduce corn yield potential by up to 7% if left uncontrolled.1 Using a planned post-emergence program with Status herbicide helps eliminate escapes early, protect yield potential and reduce the need for rescue treatments.
