Technical Details & Test Data

Working

The active ingredient in Basta ® is glufosinate-ammonium, a Group N herbicide which works by inhibiting the enzyme glutamine synthetase. Glutamine synthetase deficiency causes plant death through various disturbances in plant metabolism, including breakdown of photosynthesis. After-emergence systemic herbicide comes in the form of an aqueous solution, greenish blue in color. Ammonium glosofinate is absorbed through the green leaves and stems of the plant. Mechanism by inhibiting the process Although there were no visual symptoms, the treated plants stopped growing within the first day after Basta application. Complete weed death usually occurs between two and two weeks after treatment.
