Basta 150 SL

When stubborn weeds take over your fields or it is time to ensure uniform ripening before harvest, many agronomists rely on Basta 150 SL. This is not just a herbicide; it is a field-proven tool that provides excellent results when application rates are strictly followed.

Field Experience

This is crucial for working in orchard row middles or vineyards. Once it touches the green parts of weeds, the active ingredient instantly blocks photosynthesis. The key is to target clean foliage, as this product lacks systemic action, meaning any missed spots during spraying will remain untouched.

Dessication without surprises

With the correct rate of 1–3 L/ha, the effect becomes visible within a couple of days. Unlike many other desiccants, it does not "seal" the plant too quickly but promotes uniform drying, which is vital for seed quality and trouble-free threshing.

Key Application Tips

• Efficiency: Highly effective against both annual and perennial broad-leaved and grass weeds.
• Flexibility: Used on everything from wheat to alfalfa. Keep in mind the Class 3 hazard rating—always use appropriate PPE.
• Pre-harvest Intervals: Depending on the crop, you must wait 14 to 30 days before harvest. Adhere to regulations to avoid residue issues in your produce.
• Tank Mixing: The water-soluble concentrate mixes well in tanks, but always perform a compatibility test with other pesticides first.

Using this herbicide-desiccant is straightforward if you calibrate your nozzles properly and ensure thorough coverage. It is a reliable "workhorse" that delivers consistent performance on even the toughest fields when used according to the label.
