Basagran® M60
Area to use
Basagran® M60 Herbicide is a selective post-emergent herbicide for the control of certain broadleaf weeds in Rice. It is a combination of bentazone and MCPA. As a foliar herbicide, good coverage is essential. Application should be made to fully exposed weeds, prior to flowering. Best results will be achieved when application is made to actively growing young weeds.

|---|---|---|---|
Rice | Dirty Dora (Cyperus difformis), Starfruit (Damasonium minus), Arrowhead (Sagittaria montevidensis), Water plantain (Alisma plantagoaquatica), Seedling cumbungi (Typha spp.) | 2.0 – 2.5 L/ha | Apply when weeds have 4 to 6 leaves (typically 20 to 35 days after sowing, depending on temperatures). Use the higher rate for large weeds. For optimum Dirty Dora control, apply in a program after an aquatic herbicide effective on this weed, and apply to younger weeds up to 35 days after sowing. Application to heavy or advanced populations of Dirty Dora may result in inadequate control. In these situations additional MCPA 250 (sodium or sodium/potassium salt form only), up to 1 L/ha, may improve the level of control, but it may still be less than desired. Apply no later than rice panicle initiation. Lower water levels to expose all weeds and soil surface prior to application. Submerged weeds will not be controlled. Floodwater can be re-applied 8 hours after application. DONOT apply more than once per season to any one crop. |
