DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Restrictions/Warnings
Weed control
The best weed control will be achieved if crops are sprayed when weeds are small and actively growing, provided the crop is within the correct growth stages, see below.
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.
It is preferable to use the split dose if conditions are likely to be very warm, sunny or humid, if foliage is tender or if a sensitive variety is to be treated (see Section 4.2).
Only single applications are approved for use in peas.
Where weeds classed as moderately susceptible form an important part of the weed population, the split dose will only give acceptable control if the weeds are cotyledon only. If true leaves are present, a single application of 1.65 kg/ hectare should be made.
The addition of Actipron, Adder or Cropspray 11E is recommended only in dwarf green beans and potatoes to improve control of fat‑hen, particularly when dry conditions are prevalent. Enhanced control of other weeds listed as susceptible may also be achieved.

Sequences/Tank mixes
Sequence with other spray chemicals:
Do not apply insecticides within 7 days of treatment with Basagran SG. Basagran SG BEFORE a post‑emergence grass herbicide:‑ leave an interval of at least 7 days between treatments. Basagran SG AFTER a post‑emergence grass herbicide:‑ leave an interval of 14 days and carry out a leaf wax test where relevant.
Other than the permitted mixtures in the relevant crops, do not tank mix Basagran SG with any other products.
Weather conditions
Do not apply Basagran SG or any of the recommended mixtures to any crop that may have been subjected to stress conditions, such as herbicide or disease injury, excessive acidity/alkalinity, trace element deficiency, drought, waterlogging, widely fluctuating temperatures, or physical damage to the foliage as caused by abnormal wind, rain, hail or frost.
Do not spray under HOT SUNNY CONDITIONS when temperatures are at or above 21°C, particularly during the mid‑day period.
When the above conditions occur, spraying should be delayed until the evening. This is particularly important when there has been a change to hot sunny weather following a cool cloudy period.
Do not spray if rain or frost is expected, nor if the foliage is wet.
A minimum period of 6 hours free from rain is required after application.
Do not apply Basagran SG during periods of drought or unseasonably cold weather as unsatisfactory weed control may result.
Crops
Check varietal tolerance of varieties before using.
A satisfactory leaf wax test using crystal violet marker dye, must be carried out before applying Basagran SG or the recommended mixtures to peas.
DO NOT treat forage pea varieties or mange‑tout.
Do not use on first early or seed crop potatoes.
Restrictions relating to certain varieties of potatoes should be strictly observed.
Check also all specific restrictions and warnings relevant to potatoes.
CONSULT PROCESSORS BEFORE USE.
Application
Do not overlap spray swaths.
Avoid spray drift onto neighbouring crops, particularly lettuce and sugar beet.
The recommended water volume is 100‑450 litres/hectare. The lowest volume of 100 litres/hectare can only be used when weeds are no larger than cotyledon stage , weed density is low to moderate and crop shielding is negligible.
WASH EQUIPMENT thoroughly immediately after use. Fill the tank with clean water and leave overnight. Spray out before storage or using other products. Traces of the product may cause damage to susceptible crops sprayed later.
Mixing
Half fill the spray tank with clean water and start the agitation. Pour in the required amount of Basagran SG. 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.
