Product Description
Basf Basta is a non-selective, post-emergence herbicide that is used to control a wide range of annual and perennial broadleaf weeds in a variety of crops. It is formulated as a soluble liquid (SL) and is applied to the leaves of the weeds.
Technical Composition
Basta Herbicide contains 13.5% w/w of the active ingredient glufosinate ammonium. Glufosinate ammonium is a member of the glufosinate family of herbicides. It works by inhibiting the enzyme glutamine synthetase, which is essential for plant growth.
Mode of Action
Basta Herbicide is absorbed by the leaves of the weeds and then translocated throughout the plant. It accumulates in the chloroplasts, which are the plant's "powerhouses". Once it reaches the chloroplasts, glufosinate ammonium inhibits the enzyme glutamine synthetase, which prevents the plant from producing amino acids. This leads to the death of the plant cells and the eventual death of the plant.
Features:
Non-selective: Basta Herbicide will kill any plant that it comes into contact with, making it a good choice for controlling weeds that are difficult to control with other herbicides.
Post-emergence: basta is applied after the weeds have emerged from the soil, making it a good choice for controlling weeds that emerge after the crop has been planted.
Long-lasting: It has a long residual activity, meaning that it can provide control of weeds for up to 30 days after application.
Water-soluble: Basta is water-soluble, making it easy to mix and apply.
Low volatility: Basta is low-volatile, meaning that it is less likely to drift away from the target area.
Benefits:
Effective weed control: It is effective against a wide range of annual and perennial broadleaf weeds, including pigweed, lambsquarters, and dandelions.
Long-lasting weed control: It has a long residual activity, so you can be confident that your crops will be protected from weeds for up to 30 days.
Easy to use: It is easy to use and can be applied with a variety of sprayers.

Environmentally friendly: It is a non-persistent herbicide, meaning that it breaks down quickly in the environment.
