specified by DuPont
GENERAL INFORMATION
BASIS® is a selective herbicide for control of certain annual
grass and broadleaf weeds in com.
BASIS® is a water dispersible granule containing 75% active
ingredient by weight.
Make only one application of BASIS® per season.
BASIS® may be applied to ''food grade" (yellow dent field corn
with hard endosperm) and waxy field corn of greater than 88
day Relative Maturity (RM). Not all "food grade" or waxy field
corn hybrids of less than 88 day RM have been tested, nor does
DuPont have access to all seed company data. Consequently,
injury arising from the use of BASIS® on "food grade" or waxy
hybrids with a maturity rating of 88 day RM or less is the
responsibility of the user. Not all Hi-Lysine, or high oil corn
have been fully tested for crop safety, nor does DuPont have
2
access to all seed company data. Consequently, DuPont is not
responsible for any corn injury arising from the use of BASIS®
on these specialty corn. Consult with your seed supplier before
applying BASIS® to any of the corn types.
PREEMERGENCE AND BURNDOWN.
APPLICATIONS IN THE FALL
BASIS® herbicide JIlay be applied after harvest but before the
ground freezes for fall burn down of certain existing winter
annual weeds with limited preemergence control of some early
emerging spring annual grass and broadleaf weeds the following
spring, providing a cleaner seedbed for spring planting. Field
corn may be planted in the spring following a fall application of
BASIS®. A cleaner seedbed is less attractive to cutworm moths
and stink bugs. Some weeds such as deadnettle and henbit may
be alternate hosts for soybean cyst nematodes. Reducing weed
populations may help reduce pressure from these pests in
subsequent crops.
The following spring, weed control programs in field corn may
include products containing rimsulfuron or nicosulfuron such as
DuPont™ ACCENT® Q, DuPont™ RESOL VE® Q, or
DuPont™ STEADFAST® Q. Follow the crop rotation intervals
and <lirections provided on the labels for each of these products.
RATE
Apply .33 - .5 oz. BASIS® per acre alone or in combination
with other herbicides registered for fall application. Do not
apply to coarse soils (sand, loamy sandy or sandy loam) with
less than 1 % organic matter. Make only one application of
BASIS® in the fall.
ADJUVANTS
For bumdown control of emerged weeds, always add crop oil.
See POSTEMERGENCE APPLICATIONS - SPRAY
ADJUVANTS.
TANK MIX APPLICATIONS
For expanded weed control, BASIS® may be tank mixed with
full or reduced rates of other herbicides labeled for fall
application, such as DuPont™ EXPRESS®, simazine, or 2,4-D
ester. Refer to the other product's label for rotationai crop
intervals and other directions for use. When tank mixing, the
most restrictive label applies.
APPLICATION TIMING AND WEEDS
CONTROLLED
BASIS® may be applied after harvest but before the ground
freezes to control the following emerged weeds and to provide
limited residual control of early-emerging spring weeds.
Apply 0.33 oz BASIS® for bumdown of smaller emerged
weeds where little residual activity is desired. Reducedon of
EXPRESS® herbicide (as low as 0.1 on ;"e:ds such as -
dandelion and chickweed. Read and fo'bow aIflabel instructions

Do not apply to popcorn, sweet com, or to field corn grown for seed. RATE For burndown of emerged weeds and early season residual weed control, broadcast applications of BASIS® may be applied pre emergence anytime before com plants emerge. For maximum residual control of grass and broadleaf weeds, tank mix BASIS® with atrazine and make applications preemergence, at planting, or up to 7 days before planting. 3 Apply BASIS® at a rate of .33 to 1 ounce per acre alone or in combination with one or more herbicides registered for use on field com (See "Tank Mixes" section). Do not apply less than .33 ounce ofBASIS® per acre. Observe the crop rotation intervals listed in the "Crop Rotation" section of this label. ld(\o Preemergence applications of BASIS® work best on soils having an organic content of 1.0% but not more than 3.5%. Apply the higher rate to heavier soil types. Applications on soils with organic matter greater than 3.5% may not provide the desired length of residual activity. ADJUVANTS For burndown control of emerged weeds, always add crop oil concentrate. See POSTEMERGENCE APPLICATIONS SPRAY ADJUVANTS. TANK MIXES For broader spectrum of control, early preplant to preemergence applications of BASIS® may be tank mixed with full or reduced rates of one or more herbicides registered for application in com, such as atrazine, atrazine-containing preemergence herbicides, simazine, dicamba, or 2,4-D LYE. Select a rate appropriate for the weeds present and the desired length of residual control. Refer to the tank mix product labels for additional use directions, use restrictions, rotational crop intervals and precautions. The most restrictive provision on either label shall apply. WEEDSCONTROLLED-BURNDOWN For best control of emerged weeds, apply BASIS® to the following grasses <2" tall, broadleaves <3" tall and winter annuallbiennials <6" tall.

Make applications of ACCENT® 14 or more days after the BASIS® application. Refer to the ACCENT® label for product use information. STEADFAST® Q or RESOL VE® Q may be used as a sequential application in a planned postemergence weed control program in corn following application of a reduced rate of BASIS®. Apply 0.33 to 0.62 ounces ofBASIS® preemergence 4 to corn and allow at least 3 weeks before making sequential applications of STEADFAST® Q, RESOL VE® Q or STEADFAST® at the proper timing for weeds and corn. Use the higher rates of BASIS® on heavier soil types or where weed pressures are expected to be heavy. Make sequential applications after the corn has reached the 2- collar stage but before the corn exceeds the maximum application height listed on the respective product labels. Crop injury may result from applications of STEADF AST® Q, RESOLVE® Q or STEADFAST® made to plants under stress from prior herbicide application. Refer to the STEADFAST® Q, RESOL VE® Q or STEADFAST® labels for product use information. APPLICATION EQUIPMENT AND SPRAY VOLUMES Apply uniformly by ground equipment using a properly calibrated fixed boom sprayer with a minimum of 10 gallons per acre spray volume. Use a minimum of 15 gallons for best performance. Select a spray nozzle, spray volume, and spray pressure configuration to deliver uniform spray coverage onto weeds. Heavy crop residues may reduce bumdown control of emerged weeds if residues impede spray coverage. Higher spray volumes and pressures can improve burndown control in heavy crop residue situations. MIXING INSTRUCTIONS BASIS® may be mixed with water or pre-slurried in water and added to liquid fertilizer for application. When using liquid fertilizer as the carrier, always pre-slurry BASIS® in water before adding fertilizer solutions. Add the BASIS® slurry to the final complete liquid fertilizer mixture--Do not add BASIS® during the fertilizer mixing process. Always use good agitation while adding the BASIS® slurry to liquid fertilizers and maintain good agitation until sprayed. When using liquid fertilizer as the carrier, conduct a compatibility test with all components prior to mixing.

multiple loads, pre-slurry the BASIS® in clean water
prior to adding to the tank. This will prevent the tank mix
partner from interfering with the dissolution of the
BASIS®.
CHEMIGATION
BASIS® should not be applied through any type of
irrigation system.
CULTIVATION
For best results, cultivate when BASIS® burndown and
residual activity is complete or if new grasses have
emerged. The best time for cultivation is usually 10 to 15
days after application.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS.
AND BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY
BASIS® provides the best results when applied to young,
actively growing grasses. Applications made during warm,
moist conditions (70 OF or more) with adequate soil
moisture both before and after application maximize
performance.
The degree and duration of control depend on spray
coverage, weed spectrum, weed size, growing conditions
both before and after application, soil moisture,
precipitation, and adjuvant selection.
7
Thorough coverage is important for best performance.
Excessively cloddy or rough field conditions may reduce
coverage and affect performance.
Poor grass control or crop injury may result from
applications made to plants under stress from:
• abnormally hot or cold weather
• environmental conditions such as drought, water
saturated soils, hail damage, or frost
• disease, insect or nematode damage
• prior herbicide applications, including carryover from a
previous year's herbicide application
If the corn or grass weeds are under stress, delay application
of BASIS® until the stress passes and plants begin to grow
again. If the corn stage or grass height exceed the sizes
indicated on this label, DuPont™ ACCENT® may be used
for grass control. Consult the ACCENT® labels for timing
information.
Applications of BASIS® to dry, dusty fields may reduce
grass control in the wheel tracks.
BASIS® rapidly inhibits the growth of susceptible grasses,
reducing competition within as little as 6 hours after
application. Susceptible grasses are controlled in 7-14 days.
BASIS® is rainfast in 4 hours.
SEQUENTIAL ACCENT® APPLICATIONS
To control grasses under adverse environmental conditions,
a sequential application of ACCENT® herbicide may be
necessary. An application of ACCENT® may be made 14
or more days after BASIS® applications. Refer to
ACCENT® labels for grass species controlled, proper size
of weeds, rates and other information.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
BROADCAST GROUND APPLICATION
Use a minimum of 15 gal of water per acre (GPA) applied at
20-40 PSI for best penormance. Ensure that equipment is set
up to avoid applying an excessive rate directly over the
rows and into the corn plant whorl.
• Use 50 mesh screens with all applications.
• Use flat fan nozzles only. Do not use hollow cone,
raindrop, whirl chamber or controlled droplet applicator
(CDA) nozzles, or air-assisted sprayers. Unacceptable
crop injury, excessive spray drift, or poor weed control
may result.
• Overlaps, or starting, stopping, slowing, and turning while
spraying may result in crop injury.
• For proper spray coverage, adjust the boom and nozzle
height to manufacturers' specifications.
BAND APPLICATION
• For band applications, use proportionately less spray
mixture.
• To avoid crop injury, carefully calibrate the band
applicator so as not to exceed the labeled rate.
• Carefully follow the manufacturer's instructions for flat
fan nozzle orientation, distance of nozzles from the crop
and weeds, spray volumes, calibration and spray pressure.

Follow the cleanup procedures specified on the label of the product previously sprayed including directions for rinsate disposal. If no cleanup procedure is provided, use the procedure that follows. Immediately following applications ofBASIS®, thoroughly
clean all mixing and spray equipment to avoid subsequent crop injury. Note: When applying multiple loads of DuPont™ BASIS®, do not allow empty sprayer or mixing equipment to stand ovemight. Partially fill the empty equipment with fresh water at the end of each day of spraying, flush the boom, hoses and other equipment, and allow to sit ovemight. Cleanup Procedure
- Drain the tank and thoroughly hose down the interior surfaces. Flush the tank, hoses, and boom with clean water for a minimum of 5 min.
- Partially fill the tank with clean water and add one gal of household ammonia* (containing 3% active) for every 100 gal of water. Finish filling the tank with water, then flush the cleaning solution through the hoses, boom, and nozzles. Add more water to completely fill the tank and allow to agitate/recirculate for at least 15 min. Again, flush the hoses, boom, and nozzles with the cleaning solution, then drain the tank.
- Repeat Step 2.
- Remove the nozzles and screens and clean separately in a bucket containing the cleaning agent and water.
- Thoroughly rinse the tank with clean water for a minimum of 5 min, flushing the water through the hoses and boom.
- Rinsate may be applied to areas planted to field com. Do not exceed the labeled concentration of BASIS®. Read and follow all label directions for BASIS®.
- Equivalent amounts of an alternate strength ammonia solution or a tank
cleaner recommended in the DuPont bulletin "Sulfonylurea Herbicides, A
Guide to Equipment Cleanout," may be used.
SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
The interaction of many equipment and weather-related
factors determines the potential for spray drift. The
applicator is responsible for considering all these factors
when making application decisions.
AVOIDING SPRAY DRlFf IS THE RESPONSIBILITY
OF THE APPLICATOR.
Importance of Droplet Size
The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply
large droplets (> 150 - 200 microns). The best drift
management strategy is to apply the largest droplets that
provide sufficient coverage and control. The presence of
sensitive species nearby, the environmental conditions, and
pest pressure may affect how an applicator balances drift
control and coverage. APPLYING LARGER DROPLETS
REDUCES DRlFf POTENTIAL, BUT WILL NOT
PREVENT DRlFf IF APPLICATIONS ARE MADE
IMPROPERLY OR UNDER UNFAVORABLE
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDmONS! See Wind,
Temperature and Humidity, and Temperature
Inversions sections of this label.
Controlling Droplet Size - General Techniques
• Volume' - Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest
practical spray volume. Nozzles with higher rated flows
produce larger droplets.
• Pressure - Use the lower spray pressures recommended
for the nozzle. Higher pressure reduces droplet size and
does not improve canopy penetration. WHEN IllGHER
\1:J;i( \ lP
FLOW RATES ARE NEEDED, USE A IllGHER
CAPACITY NOZZLE INSTEAD OF INCREASING
PRESSURE.
• Nozzle Type - Use a nozzle type that is designed for the
intended application. With most nozzle types, narrower
spray angles produce larger droplets. Consider using low
drift nozzles.
Controlling Droplet Size - Aircraft
• Number of Nozzles - Use the minimum number of
nozzles with the highest flow rate that provide uniform
coverage.
• Nozzle Orientation - Orienting nozzles so that the spray
is emitted backwards, parallel to the airstream will
produce larger droplets than other orientations.
• Nozzle Type - Solid stream nozzles (such as disc and
core with swirl plate removed) oriented straight back
produce larger droplets than other nozzle types.
• Boom Length - The boom length should not exceed 3/4
ofthe wing or rotor length - longer booms increase drift
potential.
• Application Height - Application more than 10 ft above
the canopy increases the potential for spray drift.
Boom Height
Setting the boom at the lowest labeled height (if specified)
which provides uniform coverage reduces the exposure of
droplets to evaporation and wind. For ground equipment,
the boom should remain level with the crop and have
minimal bounce.
Wind
Drift potential increases at wind speeds of less than 3 mph
(due to inversion potential) or more than 10 mph. However,
many factors, including droplet size and equipment type
determine drift potential at any given wind speed. AVOID
GUSTY OR WINDLESS CONDITIONS.
Note: Local terrain can influence wind patterns. Every
applicator should be familiar with local wind patterns and
how they affect spray drift.
Temperature and Humidity
When making applications in hot and dry conditions, set up
equipment to produce larger droplets to reduce effects of
evaporation.
Temperature Inversions
Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion.
Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixi~~

Smoke that layers and moves lateMfrin a concentrated cloud (under low wind conditions) ht
Shielded Sprayers
Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce the
effects of wind. However, it is the responsibility of the
applicator to verify that the shields are preventing drift and
not interfering with uniform deposition of the product.
RESISTANCE
When herbicides with the same mode of action are used
repeatedly over several years to control the same weed
species in the same field, naturally-occurring resistant weed
biotypes may survive a correctly applied herbicide
treatment, propagate, and become dominant in that field.
These resistant weed biotypes may not be adequately
controlled. Cultural practices such as tillage, preventing
weed escapes from going to seed, and using herbicides with
different modes of action within and between crop seasons
can aid in delaying the proliferation and possible dominance
of herbicide resistant weed biotypes.

Injury or loss of desirable trees or vegetation may result
from the failure to observe the following:
