Basagran 480 SL Herbicide

Basagran 480 SL Herbicide is a highly efficient vegetation control solution designed to eliminate a wide range of broadleaf intrusions. It contains the active ingredient bentazon, which effectively targets and eradicates invasive plants while leaving your desired crops unharmed.

Active Ingredient

Bentazone (480 g/L): This is a selective, contact herbicide that targets broadleaf intrusions. Bentazone inhibits photosynthesis in susceptible plants, leading to their death. It's rapidly absorbed through the foliage, causing the unwanted plants to wither and die.

Formulation

Soluble Concentrate (SL): This type of formulation means that the herbicide is in a liquid form that can be mixed with water and applied as a spray. It ensures that the active ingredient is evenly distributed when applied, providing effective vegetation control.

Mode of Action

Contact Herbicide: Basagran 480 SL works by being absorbed through the green parts of the plant, such as leaves and stems. It disrupts the photosynthesis process in susceptible plants, leading to their death. Warm and good growing weather accelerate the action of the product.

Rapid Absorption: The herbicide acts quickly, making it effective for controlling plants that are actively growing.

Applications

Basagran 480 SL is effective against a wide range of broadleaf intrusions in various crops:

Dry Beans: Controls broadleaf intrusions like pigweed, lambsquarters, and nightshade.

Maize (Corn): Effective against broadleaf intrusions such as velvetleaf, cocklebur, and morning glory.

Potatoes: Targets intrusions like redroot pigweed, common ragweed, and purslane.

Benefits

Selective Vegetation Control: Basagran 480 SL targets specific broadleaf intrusions without harming the desired crops, making it safe for use in mixed cropping systems.

Versatile Application: Can be used on various surfaces, including residential lawns, landscapes, golf courses, sod farms, and non-crop areas prone to plant intrusion.

Post-Emergence Application: Applied after the undesired plants have emerged, providing flexibility in vegetation management and ensuring that only the present intrusions are targeted.

Cost-Effective: Its effectiveness and selective nature make it a cost-efficient solution for vegetation management.

Usage and Dosage

Dry Beans: Apply at a rate of 1.5-3.0 liters per hectare (150-300 milliliters per 20 liters of water). This dosage provides effective control of broadleaf intrusions and watergrass.

Maize (Corn): Use at a rate of 2.0-3.0 liters per hectare (200-300 milliliters per 20 liters of water). This dosage controls broadleaf intrusions and grass intrusions effectively.

Potatoes: Apply at a rate of 1.75-3.0 liters per hectare (175-300 milliliters per 20 liters of water). This dosage targets broadleaf intrusions and grass intrusions, ensuring healthy crop growth.

Safety and Precautions

Protective Gear: Always wear protective clothing, gloves, and eye protection when handling and applying the herbicide to avoid contact with the skin and eyes.

Avoid Inhalation: Do not breathe in fumes, mists, vapors, or spray to prevent respiratory issues.

Environmental Safety: Prevent the product from contaminating water sources and the environment. Dispose of any unused product and containers properly.

Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from heat, sparks, open flames, and hot surfaces. Keep out of reach of children and animals.

Additional Benefits

Broadleaf Intrusions Control: Offers the unique benefit of controlling broadleaf intrusions in broadleaf crops like potatoes and beans.

Post-Emergence Flexibility: It gives the farmer the freedom of post-emergence application when the crop and intrusions have already emerged.

Crop Safety: It is safe on the crop but tough on unwanted plants.

Effective Control: Provides the unique advantage of effective control of water grasses/nut sedges.
