How to Use Banvel Herbicide

Banvel herbicide is a broad-leaf weed controller that can be used before seeding or during crop growth. It is produced by the BASF chemical company, a leader in chemical herbicides and insecticides. Banvel is a concentrated solution, which means that it must be diluted with water prior to application. Banvel works best on grasses, wheat, oats, corn and other grains. The proper use of Banvel herbicide is essential to successful crop growth and weed control. Misuse of the product can result in damage to the crops as well as to the applier of the herbicide.
