Control for
Top Yields
■ JMHi J Weather is
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 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 ”
