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 ram to deliver burndown con trol of emerged grasses and broadleaves With a passing shower, the residual activity kicks in to control foxtails, water hemp, giant ragweed, pigweeds, velvetleaf and lambsquarters, 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 preplan! treatments will play out, and then the waterhemp and foxtail come in late We haven’t seen Basis Gold* run out, even in years with heavy rainfall ” Sandbur, lambsquarters and cocklcbur arc 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 pre-only program where we went two to three weeks without ram and it never activated By the time we got rain, 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 nod and folio* the lahtl Basis Gold * is a registered trademark of El du Pont de Nemours and Company DuPont is a trademark oft I du Pont de Nemours and Company Basis Gold * is a restricted use pesticide
