Features & Benefits

General Information

Bash is a broad spectrum knockdown herbicide for use against a wide range of grasses, broad-leaved weeds and clovers. Bash is a contact herbicide, so thorough coverage of target weeds is essential. Bash has no residual activity, but may be tank mixed with residual herbicides such as Simatop ™ 500FW for longer term weed control. NOTE: Do not allow spray or spray drift to contact any green parts (including immature bark) of desirable plants, as these plants may be damaged or killed. Avoid mowing or cultivation of treated vegetation until weeds begin to die. Avoid spraying where the temperature is below 10°C.

Applications & Uses

Application Technique
Herbicide Target Species
Spillage

Exclude non-essential people from the area. Wear protective clothing and prevent material from entering waterways. Absorb spill with inert material such as soil, sand, etc, and place in waste container. Wash area with water, and absorb with further inert material. Dispose of safely to a suitable landfill.

Application Methods

Bash can be applied with conventional ground spraying equipment. Uniform coverage is essential.

Mixing

Bash mixes readily with water. To ensure uniform mixing, pour the correct amount into the partly filled tank, and add the remainder of the water while agitating. Agitate thoroughly before and during spraying, and before spraying after a stoppage. If tank mixing with other products, add suspension concentrate formulations such as Simatop ™ 500FW, and mix thoroughly before adding Bash.

Rainfall

Do not apply if rain is expected within 2 hours of spraying. If rainfall occurs within 6 hours of spraying, effectiveness may be reduced, necessitating a further treatment.

Withholding Periods

It is an offense for users of this product to cause residues exceeding the relevant MRL in the Food Notice: Maximum Residue Levels for Agricultural Compounds. All Crops 28 days

Resistance Management

GROUP H HERBICIDE

Bash contains glufosinate-ammonium, which belongs to the Inhibition of glutamine synthetase mode of action group. Some naturally occurring weeds may become resistant when excessive use of the same herbicide occurs. To prevent or delay the development of resistance, use in tank mixes and/or rotate use with herbicides with a different mode of action. Consult http://resistance.nzpps.org/index.php for alternative modes of action and details of resistance management strategies (if any) for the crops listed on the label.

Rates of Application
CROP RATE CRITICAL COMMENTS
Berryfruit for Primocane Control – Brambles, Raspberries 500 – 750 mL / 100 L Apply as a directed high volume spray in sufficient water to ensure complete coverage of the primocanes. Apply to primocanes less than 25 cm long. Do not apply before the first primocanes of the season have reached at least 15 cm in height. Use the higher rate on vigorously growing crops. The addition of a non-ionic surfactant such as Synergy™ Wetter Sticker at 25mL/100 L is recommended. Do not apply to plants under stress. Avoid drift onto fruiting canes.
Orchard and Vineyard for Weed Control – Citrus, Grapes, Kiwifruit, Pipfruit, Stonefruit Select rate from ‘Weeds Controlled’ table below Apply in spring after germination of most annual weeds. May be applied in a tank mix with residual herbicides such as Simatop™ 500FW. If dilution rate is less than 1 L / 100 L, add Synergy Wetter Sticker at 25mL/100 L.
Stale Seedbed Preparation (Particularly where clover is present) 3 – 5 L/ha Apply to seedling weeds and clover in sufficient water to ensure complete coverage (Recommendation: 200 – 300 L/ha of water). May be applied up to one day before crop emergence.
Non-Crop land 7.5 - 10 L/ha or 150mL/15 L knapsack Apply as a high volume spray to the point of run-off (Recommendation: 300 – 500 L/ha of water for broadcast application). May be applied in a tank mix with residual herbicides such as Simatop™ 500FW.

NOTE: Use lower rates where weeds are young and actively growing, or where the weed population is sparse and good coverage is possible. Use higher rates where weeds are mature, or where the weed population is dense. Weeds with well developed tap roots or underground storage organs may not be controlled, and regrowth may occur following treatment.
