Mode of Action: BASFAPON IS absorbed through the lollage and conse
quently IS most effective when apPlied as a foliage spray It IS. however. also
absorbed by the roots. Best results wrll be obtained when BASFAPON IS
applied to grasses which dre In a state of active growth. but uefore seed
stalks develop. Several weeks may be reqUired for maximum effect to
become vIsible A repeat application may be necessary to maintain control of
perennial grasses Results may be poor if grass IS not growing well. is overly
mature or suffenng from drought or cold weather
Persistence in the Soil: Due to leaching by rainfall and breakdown by micro
organisms. the effect of BASFAPON In the salt disappears alter tour to six
weeks If ne .... s(';)dllng .;)rassE's Inva':Je a treated area. retreat With BASFAPON

SPECIFIC CROP USES
Sugar Beets: For use any time from emergence through the 6-leaf stage:
To-tonffi5lsmali grass seedling:> use 3 to 4 Ibs of BASFAPON per acre In
enough water for good spray coverage A rate of 6 to 8 Ibs of BASFAPON
per acre may be reqUired to control eat
ment. use 20 Ibs. of BASFAPON either before or after the cuttlnq sC'ason for
bern..2lld oats and 1,!Jackgrass. Such amounts
may cause stunting of beets and reauce Yields 10 minimize thiS effect. the
6 to 8 lb. rates should be applied as directed sprays AVOid spraymg the beet
leaves. BASFAPON at 3 Ibs./acre may be used With PYRAMIN' W sugar beet
herbicide at recommended rates and times to controi broadleaf weeds as
well. For use beyond the six-leaf stage until sugar beets are 14 Inches
tall: To control annual grasses. apply as a directed spray at the rate of 3 to 5
pouf'ds BASFAPOW-perbroadcast acre In enough waler for good grass
coverage. Use the lower rate If grasses are very small and growing actively.
Apply with leaf-lIftmg equipment so as to minimize spray contact With foliage.
Pr.-pl.nt F." or Spring Treatments: See below. "Pre-plant Application
Followed by PlOWing.' NOTE: The spray may be applied on an overall baSIS
or in bands. In band treatments the amount of BASFAPON needed per acre
will be reduced in ro ortion t Ih r
Do not apply within 30 days before harves. Do not graze livesto( k on 'reiltl'd

Asparagus: To control quackgrass. apply 10 Ib. of OASFAPON per acre
before cutting and again 3 to 4 weeks later as needed. WIIIl a srngle tda9rass controL apply 20 los. of BASfAPON per acre {,Ittter during or

half of the corn stalks below the lifted leaves but In no case higher than 7
inches above the ground. Apply carefully with emphaSIS on sprayer cali-
bration, spray pattern width. height of spray on corn plants and rate of
BASFAPON. Best results are obtained by spraying when grass and weeds are
small and not as tall as the corn. Use of a rotary hoe soon after corn emer-
gence will delay grass and weed growth so that the corn Witt be taller than the
weeds and grass when spray IS applied. QUick kill should not be expe;:ted.
but treated grass and weeds Will be stunted or dl£ back and remain m a non

SPECIFIC CROP USES
Sugar Beets: For use any time from emergence through the 6-lea' stage:
ns control small grass seedlings use 3 to 4 Ibs. of BASFAPON per acre tn
enough water lor good spray coverage. A rate of 6 to 8 Ibs. of BASFAPON
per acre may be reqUired to control !Jlld Oilts and q,uackgrass. Such amount!::
may cause stunting 01 beets and reduce yields. To minimize thiS effect. the
6 to 8 ItJ. rates should be applied as directed sprays. AVOid spraying the beet
leaves. BASFAPON at 3 Ibs./acre may be used with PYRAMIN' W sugar bee!
herbicide at recommended rates and times to control broadleal weeds as
well. For use beyond the six-leaf stage until sugar beets are 14 Inches
taU: To control annual grasses. apply as a directed spray at the rate 01 3 to 5
pounds BASFAPOO-per broadcast acre in enough water lor good grass
coverage. Use the lower rate if grasses arf' very small and growing actively.
Apply with leaf-lilting equipment so as to minimize spray contact with loliage.
Pre-plant Fall or Spring Treatments: See belcw, "Pre-plant Application
Followed by Plowing." NOTE: The spray may be applied on an overall basis
or in bands. In band treatments the amount of BASFAPON needed per acre
will bf3 reduced in proportion to the reduction in amount of area actually
sprayed. Use no rr,ore than 8 Ibs. BASFAPON post-emergence per acre in
any single growing season. Beet tops (or roots) may be fed to livestock.
BASFAPON may cauc:p. stunting and yellowing. particularly under high
temperatures.
Flax: To control pnUIass or ~en, yellow snd giant. foxtails in flax, use
'"fl'b: 01 BASFAPON per acre tn 5 to-10 gal fans 01 water when flax is 1 to 6
inches tall. For best results. use when the young grass seedltngs are less
than 2 Inches tall and growtng actively. Do not expect rapid grass kill
NOTE: To avoid Injury to flax. ::::"0W application directions careluny and do
not exceed stated dosage. MCP or 2.4-D can be used With BASFAPON where
broadleal weed control is deSired.

PRE-PLANT APPLICATIONS FOLLOWED BY PLOWING
- Fall Treatment to Control Quackgrass: Use 10 to 15 Ibs. of BASFAPON per acre on land to be planted to crops such as beans. corn, potatoes, and sugar beets the follOWing spring. Application can be made dunng Septem· ber or October and pOssibly later in some areas. but the quackgrass should be growing well when treated. Treated areas can be plowed down in 10 to 20 days. or plowing can be delayed until spring. With some established sods improved control will be obtained if the sod is first plowed and the quack grass regrowth sprayed.
- Spring Treatment to Control Quackgrass: Early spring application of 8 Ibs. of BASFAPON per acre can reduce ~ackgrass on land to be planted to crops such as beans, corn, oats, potato e., and wheat about 5 to 6 weeks later. Spray when grass 154 t06inches tall and growing well. After spraying. wait at least 4 days before plowing down. and another 4 to. 6 weeks before planting susceptible crops. If soil is unusually dry. a longer waiting period will be necessary to avoid crop injury. NOTE: BASFAPON IS not cleared for use on cereal grains other than oats and wheat.
- Spring Treatment to ContrOl Johnsongra .. : Use 8 to 10 Ibs. of BASFAPON
per acre to control established johnsongrass on land to be planted to
cotton. soybeans. CQ!D. and sorghum. Often. lower rates in the range of 5 to
fIbS. will provide control. Spray when grass is 8 to 12 inches t .. 11 and is
growing vigorously. Wait 3 days. then plow or deep-disk. One or more
additional diskings prior to planting are suggested For corn or soybeans
wait at least 5 days after plowing before planting and for sorghum walt at
least 2'12 weeks. Cotton may be planted immediately after plOWing. NOTE:
If soil remains unusually dry after plOWing or deep-dlsklng. a longer waiting
period may be needed to aVOid crop Injury. Under such conditions delay
planting until at least 5 days after receiving a minimum of 0.5 Inch of rain.
