BASF Basagran: Product Overview
BASF Basagran is a contact herbicide containing Bentazone 480 g/L SL. Its verified Indian uses are early post-emergence control of listed weeds in soybean and transplanted rice.
Basagran belongs to HRAC/WSSA Group 6. Bentazone blocks Photosystem II electron transport, interrupting photosynthesis and the production of energy required for susceptible weed growth. Because it acts mainly through contacted foliage, accurate timing and thorough, uniform leaf coverage are important.
The official Indian major-use record specifies 2,000 ml formulation per hectare in 500 litres of water. BASF India's practical field guide states 800 ml per acre in 200 litres of water. The store's 800 ml variant therefore matches BASF's stated one-acre formulation rate, but the spray must still be calibrated to the treated area and required water volume.
