If you were to ask local corn growers about Basis GoM® this is what they would say:
"We’ve been struggling with sbattercam in
our com for years. This year we used Husk
Gold® arid we didn't have any at harvest.
We’re dairy farmers and silage is important.
The sbattercane problem in our com was
lowering the nutritional value of our silage.
Basis GoXd® controlled the sbattercane
and improved our silage quality.
We harvest 6700 tons of silage per week and
we want to harvest our com when silage
quality is optimum. Sbattercane does not
reach optimum silage quality at the same
timeasourcom. When harvested with com,
the silage quality is lowered.”

"I have been faming most of my 56years and
one pass with Basis Gold® is the best weea
control I have ever experienced-no
lambsquarters, Quackgrass or Pad Panicum.
The one trip Basis Gold® cut my $4500.
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! have experienced several years
the past, Basis Gold® did not bold my coi
back which resulted in higher yields, earlier
maturity and lower drying costs.
I have already purchased Vasts Gold®/
next I,4ooacre com crop."

"What we like about Basis Gold® on
our 135 acres over other total post com
programs is that it bos residual
Basis Gold® worked on our
problem weeds-foxtails, “water
grass ”, Cocklebur and Jimsonweed.
I'd definitely use more acres of Basis
Gold® again. My plan Li to target my
Basis Gold® to those fields where
we have bad a history of grass escapes
in the past."

after the com came up because my dealer
said this was better than a pre then following
