Banastar - Model E - Herbicides
Banastar® gets your oilseed rape off to the best start by helping you establish a good, even crop before winter, by providing long-lasting and reliable control of key weeds and by playing a key role in sustainable black-grass management.
Banastar® is a residual herbicide for oilseed rape that offers excellent control of a wide range of weeds. Banastar® is taken up via the cotyledons and roots and takes maximum effect before, or shortly after weed emergence. Optimum results are obtained from applications that are made to fine, firm and moist seedbeds.
Banastar® works by employing a three-pronged approach to ensure maximum levels of weed control. The three active ingredients, dimethenamid-p, metazachlor and quinmerac each work on different parts of the seedling.
In terms of application timing, Banastar® may be applied pre or post-emergence of the crop before seven or more true leaf stage (GS 17)
