What you need to know about these 3 soybean herbicides

They need an effective, but flexible, herbicide program to control today’s most challenging weeds. Now, you can recommend — Enversa^™, Sonic^® Boom and Kyber^® Pro herbicides — three herbicides that debuted in 2025 — from Corteva Agriscience as options to fit your customers’ programs.

Enversa^™ herbicide

“Farmers were able to see the strength behind the encapsulated acetochlor in Enversa herbicide, after it came to the market last year,” said Drake Robards, portfolio marketing lead, soybean herbicides, Corteva. “The encapsulated acetochlor helps drive the solution to the soil to set up a residual barrier against weeds that haven’t emerged yet — providing cleaner fields and a healthier crop.”

Application rate: 3 pt./A
Soybean application timing: Preplant up to R2

Key benefits of Enversa herbicide:

• Residual control of 20 broadleaf weeds and grasses, including Palmer amaranth and waterhemp
• Reliable performance leads to customer confidence in resistance management
• Fits perfectly as a postemergence herbicide in a herbicide program approach with other Corteva Agriscience^™ soybean herbicides and is the preferred residual tank-mix partner with Enlist One^® herbicide for Enlist E3^® soybeans
• Excellent crop safety leads to higher yield potential
• Wide application window to help navigate challenging weather conditions

“Enversa herbicide also offers immediate plant-back options to field corn, seed corn, silage corn, popcorn, cotton, soybean and peanuts — with no restrictions if these previously treated crops are lost,” Robards says.

Sonic^® Boom herbicide

Preventing the establishment of nutrient-robbing weeds requires a dependable, field-tested preemergence herbicide. When that solution provides control of more than 35 of the toughest broadleaf weeds threatening soybeans today, it should become an easy recommendation to your customers. That solution is here: Sonic^® Boom herbicide.

With two proven active ingredients — metribuzin and sulfentrazone — and long-lasting residual activity, this liquid premix preemergence herbicide can keep soybeans weed-free for maximum yield potential.

Application rate: 16 to 21 oz./A
Soybean application timing: Preplant up to 30 days; and preemergence up to three days after planting, but before soybean seed germinates

Key benefits of Sonic Boom herbicide:

• Control of more than 35 hard-to-control or resistant broadleaf weeds, with suppression of many problematic grasses common to soybeans
• Flexibility to fit a wide variety of geographies and agronomic needs
• Long-lasting residual creates wider application window for postemergence application
• Foundational preemergence herbicide that naturally fits into a two-pass program — including the Enlist^® weed control system — for season-long weed control
• Liquid premix for easier handling, storage and tank-mixing

“Farmers who used Sonic Boom herbicide for the first time last season not only got excellent, long-lasting control of weeds but also got the flexibility to customize their program to fit their unique needs,” Robards said. “Sonic Boom herbicide is a great foundational solution for farmers to start the season strong.” 

Kyber^® Pro herbicide

With the growing risk of weed resistance, never before in weed control has a herbicide product with multiple modes of action been so important.

With three proven modes of action, and tank mix flexibility, Kyber Pro herbicide will give your customers a comprehensive preemergence weed control solution on more than 50 broadleaf and grass weeds.

Application rate: 1 pt./A
Soybean application timing: Preplant; and preemergence up to three days after planting, but before soybean seed germinates

Key benefits of Kyber Pro herbicide:

• Controls tough, ALS- and PPO-resistant weeds like Palmer amaranth, common ragweed and waterhemp
• Excellent herbicide resistance management tool with three proven modes of action — combining metribuzin, flumioxazin and pyroxasulfone (Group 5, 14 and 15 actives) in a liquid premix
• Wider postemergence application window from long-lasting residual control
• Highly compatible with Enlist E3 soybeans and the Enlist weed control system

“Kyber Pro herbicide has proven itself to be a premium solution for soybean farmers aiming to strengthen their herbicide program,” Robards said. “Farmers were able to achieve cleaner fields for longer, which put them in a better position for postemergence herbicide applications for season-long weed control.”
