General Basamid® is a solid granule type product with dazomet as active ingredient. Dazomet is a broad-spectrum soil fumigant, whose active ingredient generates gaseous methyl isothiocyanate (MITC) in the presence of adequate soil moisture. It limits free living nematodes, cyst nematodes and root knot nematodes. Other features that have encouraged growers’ interest in the application of Basamid® to high-value crops include its fungicidal, insecticidal and herbicidal qualities. See more Field of use Basamid® can be applied prior to planting or sowing both outdoor crops and crops grown under protective covering. Full area treatment or strip application should be selected depending on the severity of the soil-borne pest or disease problem. See more Mode of application Basamid® can easily be applied by the grower himself. But special care must be taken to ensure that there is sufficient soil moisture content in fine crumbled soil for efficient conversion of dazomet into the active gaseous MITC. An excellent measure of soil humidity is the condition of the sowing bed, i.e. 60-70 % of the water-holding capacity. MITC will move through both soil gas phases and soil water phases.
