basagran kill wild buckwheat?

[TOM4CWB]

Thanks to most everyone for the help.

Hoping to get the basagran sprayed today. Nice to know that it might actually work. Almost zero knowledge or experience with it here.

Don’t worry, I plan to read the label and spray the correct rate. Will even try to use 20/ac water.

Sure is expensive.

Basagran by itself is amazingly crop safe even when we needed Canada thistle control in peas just flowering. UAN or Ammonium Sulfate increases the effectiveness on the weeds so full rate isn't needed for good weed control. Basagran is a contact herbicide... so plenty of H2O is great... but have applied with sprayAir at 2gpa and no crop damage while great weed kill. Good coverage with no dust is ideal no matter the application system... can't beat spot application on pea fields late to kill thistles patches... then high rate really cooks the weed patches... peas stubble almost as good as S.F. with pre harvest glyphos.. more N and great tilth!

I assume that Basagran is like Liberty in that it needs a nice warm sunny day the day you spray and another nice sunny day the next day? Can't seem to get that here.

Yes , performs better when warm , sunny

Tom, Spray Air? We just about got run out of the country when we used a Spray Air sprayer. But we liked it, our neighbours not so much.

I invented my own nozzle airfoils that stopped majority of drift issues. Basagran is used on many vegetable crops... so found to be amazingly crop safe. poor growing conditions do hamper weed control.

Frustrating part is , it’s a $5 herbicide.... that they charge $20 plus for .
Proof by that fact you can by generic viper still that is a co pack with solo separate from the Basagran.... Basagran is worth $6.30 /ac in that pack ...
but on its own it’s a bizarre price .

BASF should offer a respray option if you use viper or Odyssey and have to respray due to conditions..... should be no different than canola seed reseed policy
If you use their product and you need to respray .... $5 for the Basagran. It would go a long long way to repair their reputation for crop injury and poor performance on weed control at times.
It simply would be the right thing to do
Otherwise they stick the producer right up the ass full retail for Basagran for a total cost on Peas at over $45 / ac ....
