Summary of Challenges
Sunflower Desiccation and Harvest Aid
BASF has not seen these challenges in earlier 2010
successful applications nor in prior years of
research.
BASF logged alleged concerns on Sharpen
Herbicide Performance in Sunflower Desiccation,
and worked quickly with growers and applicators to
reach resolution.
Based on the trends observed from the challenges
reported, some clear Critical Success Factors
emerged.
Sharpen Sunflower Desiccation
Critical Success Factors
Water Volume
More is better
Label revised from 3 gpa to 5 gpa
Adjuvant
MSO @ 1 pt/A or MSO based HSOC @ 0.75 pt/A.
AMS @ 8.5-17 lb/100 gal or 1.25-2.5 gal 28% UAN/100gal
Application Timing
Label allows application at physiological maturity
If applied prior to PM, it will take longer to desiccate
Sharpen Sunflower Desiccation
Ongoing Research
Small Plot Replicated Trials
NDSU Fargo, Carrington, and Minot
Evaluate adjuvant rates with and without glyphosate
tankmix
Evaluate application timing
Aerial Application Split Field Trials
Evaluate various oil adjuvant rates
Fifteen locations scattered throughout North Dakota, South
Dakota, and NW Minnesota
