Advertisement Weather Protect Weed Control for Top Yields iIRUI Weather is of the most impor tant factors affecting ■il'Kitf weed control in corn today Dry, wet or cold weather can lead to erratic weed control, especially with soil applied herbicides Herbert Roos and Jim Campbell have taken steps to weather protect their weed con trol by switching from inconsistent preemer gence programs to using a planned post program with DuPont"' Basis Gold* herbicide They have seen their decision pay off in more reliable control of both grasses and broadleaves —as well as award-winning yields in the 2000 National Corn Yield Contest Unlike soil-applied herbicides. Basis Gold* doesn’t need rain to deliver burndown con trol of emerged grasses and broadleaves With a passing shower, the residual activity kicks m to control foxtails, water hemp, giant ragweed, pigweeds, velvetleaf and lambsquarlers, and helps keep fields clean through harvest When growers look at costs. Basis Gold* is up to $3 per acre less than the leading competitive program “We have had real good luck with Basis Gold®,” says Roos, a first-place yield winner in Illinois. “It seems like the preplant treatments will play out, and then the waterhemp and foxtail come in late We haven’t seen Basis Gold® run out, even m years with heavy rainfall ” Sandbur, lambsquarters and cocklebur are among the major weed problems for Campbell, who farms near Canton, Mo. Basis Gold® has proven itself effective and crop safe —something that Campbell notes is not always the case with a preemergence program “I’ve had times with a prc-only program where we went two to three weeks without ram and it never activated. By the time we got ram, the weeds were too big to control,” says Campbell, a third-place yield winner in Missouri “Basis Gold" doesn't affect the corn one bit We can spray corn four to ten inches tall, and it just keeps on growing It just does a fantastic job ” Always read and follow tin tuKl Basis Gold' m a ngistend truth mark of E I du Pont di Ni moms and C omparn DuPont is a trademark of L I du Pont di Nc mnurs and C ompuny Basts Gold ’ is a restricted use pesticide Copyright © 2001 EI du Pont de Nemours and Compan\
