Basis 75 WG

Professional Weed Control for Maize Crops

Basis 75 WG by "DuPont International Operations Sarl" (Switzerland) is a benchmark solution for maize growers aiming for clean fields and maximum yield. As a post-emergence selective herbicide, it is designed to be applied when the crop is in the 1–7 leaf stage, targeting a broad spectrum of invasive weeds.

Key Operational Advantages

Field managers utilize Basis 75 WG primarily for its ability to clear tough, competitive weeds that can significantly limit maize productivity. The combination of Rimsulfuron and Thifensulfuron-methyl ensures comprehensive action against both grasses and broad-leaved species.

• Target Weeds: Highly effective against quackgrass (Agropyron repens), common ragweed, lamb's quarters, redroot pigweed, shepherd's purse, chickweed, and foxtail species.
• Systemic Action: The product is absorbed through the leaves, moving through the plant to stop cellular division, which leads to the rapid decline of weeds.
• Formulation: Water-dispersible granules provide excellent solubility and compatibility in tank mixes, ensuring consistent application through sprayers.

The application rate is 0.02–0.025 kg/ha, with a maximum of one application per season. Because it is a selective herbicide, it ensures that while the weeds are eliminated, the maize crop remains unharmed, preserving its growth potential.

Practical Implementation

For optimal results, apply Basis 75 WG while weeds are in the active growth phase. In agricultural practice, this product is highly valued because it simplifies weed management programs, reducing the need for multiple passes and labor-intensive soil cultivation. By choosing this systemic treatment, farmers can effectively manage difficult perennials like quackgrass, which often hinder development in early-season maize. Ensure proper adherence to safety protocols (Hazard Class 3) during the mixing and spraying process.
