Mixing and Spraying
Mixing
Half fill the spray tank with clean water and start the agitation. Pour in the required amount of Basagran. Add the remainder of the water and continue agitation until spraying is completed.
When tank mixes are to be used, each product should be added separately to the spray tank.
Application
All applications should be made as a FINE spray, as defined by BCPC, unless the highest water volumes are used when FINE or MEDIUM sprays are permissible. It is essential to achieve full cover of all weed surface areas, especially the growing point. Therefore ADJUST SPRAY VOLUMES AND PRESSURES ACCORDING TO THE SIZE AND DENSITY OF THE WEED POPULATIONS AND CROP COVER.
Basagran can be applied as a single dose in all recommended crops or as a split dose in dwarf green, navy, runner and field beans, linseed, potatoes and narcissi. The split dose will control susceptible weeds from cotyledon up to 2 true leaves while the single dose is effective on weeds up to 4 6 true leaf stage. The split dose method has generally given better weed control and enhanced crop safety over the conventional single dose, but if weeds are larger than 2 true leaves, it is necessary to use the single dose method.

Compatibility
Mixes
Provided that all product recommendations are followed, Basagran is fully compatible in two way mix with either Actipron, or Crop Spray for use as directed in dwarf beans and potatoes, and Tropotox or MCPB, for use as directed in peas. See relevant sections for definition of formulations covered.
Apart from the above permitted products, used as directed, no other products should be tank mixed with Basagran or severe crop damage can result.
All tank mixes should be used immediately after mixing.
Sequences
Do not apply insecticides within 7 days of treatment with Basagran.
Basagran BEFORE a post emergence grass herbicide: leave an interval of at least 7 days between treatments.
Basagran AFTER a post emergence grass herbicide: leave an interval of 14 days and carry out a leaf wax test where relevant.
