AgroPages-BASF supports Heat herbicide as a pre-harvest application for the 2014 season-Agricultural news

BASF has established a complete set of maximum residue limits (MRLs) in key export markets around the world, including the EU, for the use of Heat herbicide for pre-harvest applications.

Growers can now apply Heat herbicide for pre-harvest use on field peas, dry beans, sunflowers and soybeans.

"BASF is committed to innovative solutions that help Canadian growers produce the best crop possible," said Danielle Eastman, Brand Manager, Western Herbicides, for BASF Canada. "Heat herbicide tank-mixed with glyphosate offers growers a fast and complete dry down of crops and weeds to not only help speed up and improve harvest, but leave fields cleaner for the following year."

When used as a harvest aid, Heat tank-mixed with glyphosate speeds up days to harvest 3 to 5 times faster than glyphosate alone. "While Heat can be used as a harvest aid and desiccant on dry beans, field peas, sunflowers and soybeans, BASF is still working with key importing countries to establish MRLs for additional crops that are currently registered for pre-harvest use on the Heat label," said Eastman.

For other crops registered on the Heat label for pre-harvest use, growers should consult with the processing and exporting companies that they plan to sell their crops to before finalizing harvest aid/desiccant decisions to ensure marketability of the crop.
