Post Emergent Broadleaf Herbicide Basagran (bentazon) can be applied as sequential treatments for greater broadleaf weed control. The first Basagran application should be made before the weeds are 0.5 to 4 inches tall, depending on the weed species. Refer to label for information on weed sizes at application. Apply Basagran at 1 pt/A plus petroleum oil or Dash HC at 0.5 to 1 pt/A and repeat the application 7 to 10 days later. Basagran applied as a planned split application program will improve broadleaf weed control compared to a single application. Split applications will control cocklebur, lambsquarters, annual smartweed, VENICE mallow, and wild mustard. Common ragweed, kochia, pigweed, and sunflower may be controlled or suppressed. NDSU research has shown greater control of lambsquarters, redroot pigweed and kochia by applying Basagran as split treatments either twice each at 1 pt/A, 3 times each at 0.67 pt/A, or 4 times each at 0.5 pt/A as compared to one application at 2 pt/A. Dash HC gives greater enhancement of Poast than petroleum oil or AMS. Pursuit (imazethapyr) at 2 fl oz/A or Pursuit DG at 0.72 oz/A or 10 acres per water
soluble
packet applied POST only controls wild mustard and provides suppression of nightshade in
pinto, navy, great northern, kidney, black turtle, and cranberry type dry beans. Reduced
crop growth, yield, and/or delayed maturity may result from application. Do not apply if
planting is delayed, or cold and/or wet weather are present or predicted to occur within
one week of application. Do not apply to Domino variety black turtle bean. Pinto varieties
UI-111 and Olathe are more sensitive to injury than other Pinto varieties. Apply Pursuit
with NIS at 0.25% v/v to dry beans having at least one trifoliate leaf. DO NOT use oil
additives, liquid fertilizer or DASH. Refer to the Raptor paragraph in the soybean section
for additional information on application use and restrictions. See Pursuit under the
herbicide residue section for information on crop rotation restrictions. Back to Weed Control
