Basamid G

The First Step on the Road to Perfection

The reasons for renovating may vary, but the desired result is always the same–a perfect stand of lush, beautiful turf. Basamid, the only granular soil fumigant on the market, is the quickest, most dependable way to achieve that perfect turf. Basamid penetrates deep to sterilize the soil and quickly eliminate virtually all weeds, nematodes, grasses and soil diseases. You can then reseed and get your new turf off to a healthy, vigorous start in as little as 10 to 12 days.

Redefining Renovation

The non-restricted, granular formulation of Basamid requires no complicated application equipment or tarps, offering you the flexibility to renovate a single green or all 18 fairways. Because Basamid is a granule, it becomes a soil fumigant only when activated by moist soil. Basamid also offers you a short, 24-hour reentry interval. In short, Basamid makes traveling the road to perfection smoother than ever before.

Preparing Fairways and Athletic Fields for Application of Basamid

The success of renovation efforts using Basamid is largely dependent upon proper site preparation. Please contact your local Advan sales representative before applying Basamid. We’ll make sure you will successfully eliminate weeds, nematodes and diseases from the areas you treat and achieve optimal growth of your newly planted turf.

*Basamid Fast Facts*
Q:	How is Basamid® granular soil fumigant different from other soil fumigants?
A:	Basamid is the only granular soil fumigant on the market. The non-restricted granular formulation requires no complicated application equipment or tarps, thereby reducing your labor costs and eliminating many of the hassles typically associated with soil fumigation. And because Basamid is not a gas or liquid formulation, it doesn't release active gas until it is mixed with moist soil, thereby reducing the concern for applicator exposure. In addition, Basamid offers you a 24-hour reentry interval.

Q:	How soon can I reseed after applying Basamid granular soil fumigant?
A:	Basamid allows you to prepare turf and other seedbeds for reseeding in as little as 10 to 12 days. Prior to seeding, Basamid offers effective control of most weeds, nematodes, grasses and soil diseases to help you get tree, ornamental and turf seedlings and plantings off to a healthy, vigorous start.
