Mode of action:
Systemic herbicide with strong herbicidal effect both through the leaves and soil. Active ingredients — fenmedifam and desmedifam — inhibit Hill reactions in photosynthesis; ethofumesate — stops cell division (mitosis processes) in the meristem. Visible herbicidal effects appear within 2–7 days after application. Maximum efficacy is achieved when applied within a temperature range of 10–25°C.
Spectrum of activity:
The presence of three active ingredients provides Beta Profi with broad, reliable control over more than 40 species of annual dicotyledonous weeds, including:
— Amaranthus retroflexus (prostrate amaranth);
— Ambrosia artemisiifolia (ragweed);
— Lapsana communis (common hawkweed);
— Veronika spp (veronica);
— Anchusa officinalis (hemp agrimony);
— Centaurea cyanus (cornflower);
— Galinsoga parviflora (small-flowered galinsoga);
— Polygonum spp (knotweed);
— Sinapis arvensis (field mustard);
— Lamium spp (deadnettle);
— Capsella bursa-pastoris (shepherd’s purse);
— Datura stramonium (jimsonweed);
— Galeopsis tetrahit (common hemp-nettle);
— Senecio vulgaris (common groundsel);
— Stellaria media (common chickweed);
— Chrysanthemum segetum (field chrysanthemum);
— Urtica urens (stinging nettle);
— Salsola kali (Russian knawel);
— Anagallis arvensis (field pimpernel).
Application rates:
Beta Profi should be applied at the seedling stage of weeds. In this case, 0.8–1.0 L/ha is sufficient for complete weed control. When applied during the 2–4 true leaf stage of weeds, the application rate should be increased to 1.5–2.0 L/ha.
Beta Profi can be used in tank mixes, but compatibility of mixed products must be checked in advance.
Application features:
The product is recommended for use within a temperature range of 10–25°C, under moderate sunlight and positive nighttime temperatures, as well as on healthy and strong plants to avoid damage to sugar beets. In high-temperature days, spraying should be conducted in the evening. Spraying should also be avoided on wet plants from rain or dew.
Beta Profi is a modern and highly effective herbicide requiring professional and quality application. With optimal use, it delivers maximum protective potential for achieving high yields with high economic efficiency.
