If you were to as k local corn growers abou “With four years of Basis Gold * use on our farm. I have learned that the best corn herbicide program Is 1 pt. of Dual at planting followed with Basis GoidP + 3 oz. of Banvei This has eliminated Fall pamcum problems and does what I like to see done to Canada thistle. Basis Gold* eaves me money and eliminates the crop damage from late post broadleaf herbicides too. This year Basle GoUP will be on all 600 acres ofourconventionalcom andno-UH com. ” “Our NC6A winning entry came from old cow pasture field that has soil excellent moisture holding capacity an, loaded with lots of weed seeds mclu, giant ragweed plus several different ki of grasses;! figured ahead of time it wt take a two pass program to end up dean corn.
