About Bentazone 480 G/l SL
Bentazone 480 g/L SL is a selective, contact-acting post-emergence herbicide (often branded as Basagran by BASF) that kills broadleaf weeds and sedges in rice, soybeans, and other crops by inhibiting photosynthesis. It offers rapid drying of weeds within days, high selectivity ensuring crop safety, and compatibility with other herbicides to prevent resistance.
Effective Weed Control: Specifically targets tough broadleaf weeds and sedges (e.g., Cyperus rotundus, pigweed, smartweed, cocklebur) in soybeans, rice, peanuts, and peas.
Rapid Action: As a contact herbicide, it works quickly (often within 510 days) by causing chlorosis (yellowing) and desiccation of weeds.
High Selectivity & Crop Safety: Excellent safety profile for transplanted and direct-seeded rice, as well as soybeans, making it safe for the crop while killing the weeds.
Flexible Application: Suitable for early post-emergence application, allowing farmers to tackle weed problems after crop germination, at the 24 leaf stage of weeds.
Ideal for Resistance Management: It is highly compatible for tank-mixing with other herbicides, making it a strong tool for Integrated Weed Management (IWM) programs.
High Solubility: The SL (Soluble Liquid) formulation allows for easy mixing and thorough application with a knapsack sprayer.
Common Target Crops & Dosage:
Soybean: Controls Cyperus rotundus and others, generally applied at a rate that ensures weed suppression.
Transplanted Rice: Controls weeds such as Cyperus difformis and Eclipta alba.
Dosage: Usually applied around 960 g of active ingredient per hectare, or roughly 2 litres of 480 g/L product per hectare, depending on the label
Selective Weed Control for Multiple Crops
Bentazone 480 G/l SL provides powerful action against broadleaf weeds and sedges without harming major crops like rice, beans, maize, and other legumes. Its targeted approach minimizes competition, leading to healthier and more productive crops, promoting sustainable field management.
Easy Application and Compatibility
As a soluble liquid formulation, this product ensures simple preparation and uniform foliar spraying. Its complete miscibility with water makes application straightforward and compatible with common agricultural spraying equipment, delivering consistent results across different field sizes.
Safety and Environmental Considerations
With low mammalian toxicity and a flash point above 100C, Bentazone 480 G/l SL supports safer use and handling. When stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated space, its integrity is maintained throughout its 2-year shelf life, supporting reliable and sustained weed management solutions.
