We switched to Bests Gold* onetmost

was ,33 oz, Bests + 1 lb. frinoep in Meroh

One of our irrigated corn hybrids with
Bade Gold* - averaged 226.69 bushels
on 165.4 acres. We would tike to stay with
what works, and will be using the same weed
control this year,”
“Last year our com yields weren't the
best because of the dry weather. Our weed
control program gave us clean com despite
the dry weather. This ts the second year
weeds tike
Lambsquarters, Foxtail, Shatteroaneand
Johnsongrass. We will be using Gaels GoldF
again for the third straight year.”

“Our experience waswlth 14 oz. Basis Odd?
+ 4 oz. Banvel on 1,200 acres where we
expected the worst weed problems like
Fall panicum & triazlne resistant weeds,
We used one trip with Basis Gold* on
conventional tillage and applied frincep
early followed by Basis Gold* + Banvel
postemergence on ho-tilt, Basis OolxP
worked well and Is a tower cost program
than what we had been using.
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. We also like the way the com
jumps out of the ground with a Basis Gold*
program.
It was our best irrigated com crop ever. We keep teaming more
about how tpdolt right every yean our two best Irrigated hybrids
treated with Basis Gold * averaged about23obushets/acre, I see

“We used total post weed control on
1300 acres of corn Our Basis Gold?
program on 600 acres was one trip with
14 02 Basis GoUF + 3oz Banve / for Fall
panloum, Foxtails and Canada thistle
We have found we are only fooling
ourselves thinking we can use a full rate of
a pre-product then trying to spot spray
to clean up escapes; we usually realize at
harvest that we should have resprayed all
the acres postemerge
Eased on our Basie Gold* results,
present thinking is to use at least as much
Basis GoleP this year and mil likely
increase to I,2ooacres of Basis GoleP on
this years corn crop. 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.
