How it works

• BASAGRAN FORTÉ is a Group 6 herbicide that works by contact action.
• Thorough coverage of the leaves is important for consistent weed control because uptake into the plant occurs primarily through foliage.

When to apply

• Although the time of application should primarily relate to the stage of weed growth, the crop must also be in a tolerant stage as shown below.
• The information on usual crop stage for optimum weed control may also serve as a guide to spray timing.

Crop Application Timing

Weed Application Timing at 0.9 L/ac

*Triazine resistant strains of these weeds are controlled by BASAGRAN FORTÉ.
**BASAGRAN FORTÉ will defoliate velvetleaf 4 leaf or larger, but regrowth may occur.

Weed Application Timing at 0.7 L/ac

*Triazine resistant strains of these weeds are controlled by BASAGRAN FORTÉ.
**BASAGRAN FORTÉ will defoliate velvetleaf 4 leaf or larger, but regrowth may occur.
***Treat field bindweed before it is dark green and has begun to trail.
+For perennial weeds, repeat application 7 - 15 days after first treatment (if necessary).

How much to apply

BASAGRAN FORTÉ is available in cases of two 10-litre jugs or bulk, depending on individual requirements.

Rates
To improve control of velvetleaf or lamb's-quarters, add 2.5L/ac (6 L/ha) ammonium sulphate or 4 L/ac (10 L/ha) 28% urea ammonium nitrate (UAN) to either the 0.9 L/ac or the 0.7 L/ac rate of BASAGRAN FORTÉ.

Add BASAGRAN FORTÉ 0.5 - 0.7 L/ac + PURSUIT® 125 mL + Nitrogen Source 0.8 L/ac.

Add 0.5 L/ac Blazer to 0.5 L/ac rate of BASAGRAN FORTÉ.

Add BASAGRAN FORTÉ 0.9 L/ac + Pinnacle 2.2 - 3.2 g/ac herbicides.

Add BASAGRAN FORTÉ 0.7 L/ac + Pinnacle 2.2 - 3.2 g/ac herbicides.

Mixing Instructions

1. Fill the tank half full with clean water. Start agitation or by-pass system.
2. When required, add correct amount of nitrogen source. Do not add nitrogen source when tank-mixing BASAGRAN FORTÉ with Pinnacle.
3. If required, add the correct amount of Pinnacle or PURSUIT. For use on soybeans only. Continuous agitation is required to keep Pinnacle or PURSUIT in suspension. When using the BASAGRAN FORTÉ + Pinnacle tank-mix, prepare a Pinnacle water slurry in a separate container with clean water before adding to spray tank on repeat tank loads.
4. Add correct amount of BASAGRAN FORTÉ and agitate 2 to 3 minutes.
5. Add remainder of water, agitate and spray.
6. If an oil film starts to build up in the tank, drain and clean tank with a strong detergent solution.
7. Thoroughly clean the spray tank immediately after use. Refer to specific tank mix partner label for clean-up instructions.

Application tips

Ground Application

• Use sprayers equipped with standard flat fan pesticide nozzles with the recommended spray volume, pressure and additives.
• Tilt spray nozzles 45 degrees forward to ensure better coverage.

Spray Volume

• Minimum 40 L/ac (100 L/ha). Use larger water volumes (up to 120 L/ac) for weeds at the upper limit of their recommended stage for treatment.

Spray Pressure 

• Minimum 275 kPa. Use higher pressure (use up to 425 kPa) for weeds at the upper limit of their recommended stage for treatment.

Note

• Use a minimum of 80 L/ac if crop canopy or heavy weed population interferes with thorough spray coverage, or under cool temperature.
