Basis 75, WG, herbicide

Why Basis 75 is the choice for corn fields

When corn fields start to succumb to weed pressure, time becomes a critical factor for every farmer. Basis 75, WG from DuPont is more than just a standard herbicide; it is a precision tool designed to clean fields without compromising crop safety. By combining rimsulfuron and thifensulfuron-methyl, this product offers a comprehensive defense against both grass and broadleaf weeds.

The Science of Efficiency

The secret to its success lies in the synergy of its two active ingredients. Rimsulfuron excels at controlling couch grass, while thifensulfuron-methyl targets a broad spectrum of broadleaf weeds, including common lamb's quarters, amaranth, and catchweed bedstraw. Unlike harsher alternatives that can stress the corn crop, Basis 75 is highly selective. It is rapidly absorbed by leaves, halting weed cell division and resulting in complete weed elimination within days.

Advantages and Application Notes

• High Selectivity: Corn plants easily tolerate the treatment, as they metabolize the active ingredients efficiently.
• Economy: With a maximum consumption of only 25 grams per hectare, storage and logistics are significantly streamlined.
• Flexibility: Being a post-emergence herbicide, it allows farmers to assess the exact level of weed infestation before deciding on the application.

Who is this product for?

Basis 75 is the optimal solution for professional farms utilizing intensive corn cultivation practices, where eliminating competition for water and nutrients at early growth stages is paramount. Note, however, that it is designed for a single application per season. Achieving maximum results requires uniform coverage, making proper spray calibration and favorable weather conditions essential.

The product belongs to Hazard Class 3. Regardless of its effectiveness, always prioritize safety by using proper protective equipment when mixing and applying the solution.
