Basagran

According to the label From the product label

Basagran is a postemergence herbicide used for weed control in various crops including beans, clover grown for seed, corn, peanuts, peas, peppermint, rice, sorghum, soybeans, and spearmint. The active ingredient is Bentazon (sodium salt), at a concentration of 44.0%. It is designed to control a wide range of broadleaf weeds. Application methods include ground application via spray applicators, with specific rates varying based on the target weed species, weed growth stage, and maximum height. The label provides detailed instructions for different application rates (1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 pints per acre) and specific crop directions. Users must follow strict PPE requirements, including long-sleeved shirts, long pants, chemical-resistant gloves (Category G), and shoes plus socks. Handling notes emphasize avoiding drift, especially in windy conditions, and being cautious with sensitive broadleaf species. It is critical to follow the specific Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI) for each crop, such as 30 days for beans and 0 days for peppermint. Always check local regulations, as some uses (like in California) have specific restrictions.
