Timeframe

Inhibition is rapid in the growing tips of both roots and shoots of sensitive plants, however plant death is often slow. Typical symptoms may not be noticeable for 1-3 weeks after application – faster under warm moist conditions.

Plant back withholding

Basis has a soil life, with degradation closely related to both rainfall and soil pH. Do not plant any crop other than wheat or oats within 3mths of application of Basis. Following harvest of the cereal crop and within 12 months of application, the paddock can be sown into brassica, lucerne, pasture or peas.

Stock withholding

Some poisonous plants such as ragwort become sweet and more palatable after spraying and stock should not graze areas that have these sprayed plants until the plants have died down.

Barriers to effectiveness

Rainfall

Rainfall within one hour of application may reduce the effectiveness.

Environmental conditions

Do not spray crops that are under stress from: drought, water saturated soil, disease or insect damage as crop damage may occur. Crop damage may also occur if these conditions occur after spraying.

Benefits of Basis

Controls a wide range of broadleaf weeds in cereal crops

Can be tank mixed with many other cereal herbicides to increase weed spectrum

Applied from two true leaf through until just prior to boot stage (GS 12–45)

Basis has a large weed spectrum and is a very cost effective herbicide. It is compatible with most other commonly used cereal herbicides and is an ideal tank mix partner. Basis can be used from autumn to late spring as long as the weeds are the correct size for treatment.

Do not apply to crops undersown with lucerne or white clover.

Application Rates and Usage

Basis Label
Agrochemicals - NZ

Application

Use a minimum of 60 litres of water per hectare in all methods of application. Maintain agitation throughout application. Crop injury may result from spray overlap. When starting, slowing or stopping shut off spray booms. Thorough sprayer decontamination is necessary to prevent injury to subsequently sprayed crops.

Mode of action

A potent and rapid inhibitor of plant cell division and growth. Effective on most broadleaf weeds, through contact action and root absorption. Cereals readily metabolize Basis into non-toxic compounds.

Storage and handling

Keep out of reach of children.

Store in accordance with NZS 8409 Management of Agrichemicals.

Store in original container tightly closed in a locked, dry, cool, well ventilated area away from foodstuffs, fertilisers and seeds.
