How it works
Basta® 15 SL has a partially systemic mode of action that provides a higher level of crop safety than systemic alternatives like glyphosate, while also offering more robust control than purely contact herbicides such as paraquat and diquat.
The active ingredient in Basta® 15 SL is glufosinate-ammonium, a Group N herbicide which works by inhibiting the enzyme glutamine synthetase. Lack of glutamine synthetase leads to plant death through multiple disruptions of the plant metabolism, including the breakdown of photosynthesis.
Despite the absence of visual symptoms, the treated plants stop growing within the first day after application of Basta® 15 SL. Complete death of the weeds usually occurs between two and two weeks after treatment.
