We like how Basts Gold* enabled us to use fewer plastic Jugs and get away from the liability of carrying bulk herbicides on our trucks.

The residual advan tage in Basis GoleP is important to us " “What was frustrating me was the large number of acres we were spraying twice Our pre-emergence sprays were failing I was looking for a better way. Then we tned Basis GoleP. Since using Basis GoleP, we've done very little re-spraymg. Weed control isn’t always perfect, but it is very acceptable For three years Basis GoleP has been our main herbicide program We will use it again thisyear on our 700 acres of field corn.
