How it Works
- Basagran Forté is a Group 6 herbicide that works by contact action.
- Thorough coverage of the leaves is important for consistent weed control because uptake into the plant occurs primarily through foliage.
Application Tips
Ground Application
- Use sprayers equipped with standard flat fan pesticide nozzles with the recommended spray volume, pressure and additives.
- Tilt spray nozzles 45 degrees forward to ensure better coverage.
Spray Volume
- Minimum 40 L/ac (100 L/ha). Use larger water volumes (up to 120 L/ac) for weeds at the upper limit of their recommended stage for treatment.
Spray Pressure
- Minimum 275 kPa. Use higher pressure (use up to 425 kPa) for weeds at the upper limit of their recommended stage for treatment.
Note
- Use a minimum of 80 L/ac if crop canopy or heavy weed population interferes with thorough spray coverage, or under cool temperature.
When to Apply
- Although the time of application should primarily relate to the stage of weed growth, the crop must also be in a tolerant stage as shown below.
- The information on usual crop stage for optimum weed control may also serve as a guide to spray timing.
Crop Application Timing
Crop | Tolerance Stage | Usual stage of crop for optimum weed control |
---|---|---|
Beans (dry) including white beans and kidney beans | Tolerant after 1st trifoliate leaf has fully expanded. | 1 - 3 trifoliate leaves |
Corn (grain, silage, sweet and seed) | Tolerant at any growth stage | 1 - 5 leaf stage |
Faba beans | Tolerant after 2 or 3 leaf stage or crop is 10 cm high | Soon after 3 leaf stage |
Flax (excluding low linolenic acid varieties) | Tolerant when crop is 5 cm or higher | Soon after crop reaches 5 cm |
Peas (field and processing) | Tolerant after 3 nodes are present | Soon after 3 pairs of leaves form |
Soybeans | Tolerant at any growth stage | Unifoliate to two expanded trifoliate leaves usually 18 - 28 days after planting |
