Benefits of Basagran
- Basagran works by contact action.
- Because uptake into the plant occurs primarily through foliage, thorough coverage of the leaves is important for consistent weed control.

Application Tips
Spraying Instructions
- Minimum spray volume is 40 L/ac (100 L/ha). Use larger water volumes (up to 160 L/ac or 400 L/ha) for weeds at the upper limit of their recommended stage of treatment.
- Minimum spray pressure is 275 kPa. Use higher pressure (up to 425 kPa) for weeds at the upper limit of their recommended stage for treatment.
- Use 1 litre of Assist or XA Oil Concentrate per 100 L of water with a maximum application rate of 0.8 L/ac (2L/ha). Under hot, humid conditions, restrict additive rate to 0.4 L/ac (1 L/ha). Alternatively, Citowett Plus may be used on peas at a rate of 2.5 L per 1000 L of spray solution only

Basagran is rainfast within 6-8 hours and should be applied in relation to the stage of weed growth. However, the crop must also be in a tolerant stage (shown below).

Mixing Instructions
- Fill clean spray tank half full with clean water. Start agitation system.
- If required, add correct amount of nitrogen source. Do not add nitrogen source when mixing Basagran with Reflex or 2,4-D Amine or Ester and Assist or XA Oil Concentrate.
- If required, add the correct amount of Reflex or 2,4-D Amine or 2,4-D Ester. Continuous agitation is required to keep Reflex or 2,4-D Amine or Ester in suspension.
- Add correct amount of Basagran and agitate 2 – 3 minutes.
- Add correct amount of Assist, XA Oil Concentrate or Citowett Plus and agitate 2 – 3 minutes. When tank-mixing Basagran and Reflex or 2,4-D Amine or Ester, use only Assist or XA Oil Concentrate.
- Add remainder of water, agitate, and spray.
Tank Mixes
How to Tank Mix
- Basagran can be tank-mixed with Reflex for use on dry common beans.
- Basagran can be tank-mixed with 2, 4-D Amine or Ester formulation herbicide on wheat.
Dry Common Beans
- Basagran can be tank-mixed with Reflex plus Assist or XA Oil Concentrate for suppression of redroot pigweed and control of lamb's-quarters, common ragweed, and lady's thumb.
- When tank-mixed with 2,4-D Amine or Ester formulation, Basagran will control a wide range of broadleaf weeds when applied during the 2–4 leaf stage.
