“We’ve been struggling with shattercane in
our com for years. This year we used Basis
Gold® and we didn’t have any at harvest.
We’re dairy farmers and silage is important.
Tbe shattercane problem in our com was
lowering the nutritional value of our silage.
Basis Qo\A®controlled tbe shattercane
ami improved our silage quality.
We harvest 6700 tons of silage per week and
we want to harvest our com when silage
quality is optimum. Shattercane does not
reach optimum silage quality at tbe same
lime as our com. When harvested with com,
tbe silage quality is lowered."

to ask local com growers about Basis Gold® this is what they would say:
‘W switched ail 2ftoo acres of com from
pretreatments to one trip total post and we are
glad we did We actually used 3 different post
programs but were mostly. 66 oz Accent +
Exceed and 14 oz Basis Gold® + 4oz
Boned We will increase our9oo acres of
Basis Gold®+ Bamd to most of our com
acres because of the lowered cost and our
Basis Gold® fields were the cleanest com
webaveeverbad
You could tdl on toe lmbsquarters&toe M
Panicum the next day where we sprayed & in
about a week the only totng left green was com. In previous years we
were accustomed to spraying about SffX, of our pretreated com twice, it
was all one trip witbUasis Gold® -a savings we needed this year."

“My dad said Basis Gold® is the best com
weed control we have bod at harvest time in
severalyears We plan to repeat die one pass
Basis Gold® on ad ISO acres next season.
One thing that impressed me is that odour
fields stood a good 7-10 days ahead of other
pretreated com in dee area planted at the
sometime. With the cool wet spring all the
pre-herbicide com seemed to be set back; our
Basis Gold® com took off and stayed
ahead ad seam and seemed to dry down
sooner too
I was phased that we fertilizedfor 200
bushel com and our results were 185-205
bushel’’

"I have been faming most of my 56years and
one pass with Basis Gold® is tbe best
control I have ever experienced-no Vetvetk
Lambsquarters, Quacigrass or Fall Panicum.
The one trip Basis Gold® cut my $45 00.
acre bard to control weed bill in half; we did
not need to spray one acre out of the 1,400
acres of Basis Gold® a second time.
Unlike what I have experienced several years
the past, Basis GoW® did not bold my cot
back which resulted in higher yields, earlier
maturity and lower drying costs.
/ have already purchased Basis Gold® /r
next I,4ooacre com crop.”

“We have a problem with late season
weeds in our com Weeds like Bur
Cucumber, Lambsquarters, Velveileaf,
and Foxtail Sbattercane and
Johnsongrass are an occasional problem
This year we used Basis Gold® on
350 acres of com and our com was the
cleanest we have ever bad. Basis
Gold® gave us late season control of
grasses and broadleaves. ’’

“I decided to use one pass Basis Gold®
after the com came up because my dealer
said this was better than a pre then following
up post on com It worked on the Canada
thistle, Jimsonweed, Momtngglory and Pall
Panicum problems we have We were
spending too much money going over the
com twice.
I used Basis Gold® on 75 acres of
neglected ground where I knew my standard
pre product followed by a strong post
broadleaf tank mix would be needed to have
clean com at harvest This 14 oz Basis Gold®+ 4 oz. Banvel
farm saved me money-it cost as much as my pre treatment but
we only bad to spray once for clean com at harvest.

What we like about Basis Gold® on
our 135 acres over other total post com
programs is that it has residual
Basis Gold® worked on our
problem weeds - foxtails, "water
grass”, Cocklebur andjimsonweed.
I'd definitely use more acres of Basis
Gold®4g<n'« My plan is to target my
Basis Gold® to those fields where
we have had a history of grass escapes
in the past ”
