Efficient Weed Control for Beet Crops

When managing beet fields, controlling aggressive weeds like pigweed, ragweed, or white goosefoot is a priority that requires a reliable solution. «Betagard, CE» (produced by Hangzhou Ruijiang Chemical Co., Ltd.) is a selective, systemic herbicide that we use for post-emergence treatment of both fodder and table beet crops.

Operational Advantages

• Formulation and Action: The product combines desmedipham, phenmedipham, and ethofumesate. This mix ensures systemic action, allowing the herbicide to penetrate weeds like shepherd's purse, wild mustard, and chickweed effectively without stressing the beet crop.
• Application Strategy: As a foliar herbicide, it is highly efficient when applied directly to active weed growth. The emulsifiable concentrate (CE) formulation makes it easy to mix and apply through standard spraying equipment.
• Usage Standards: The recommended rate is 1–3 liters per hectare, with a limit of 3 applications per season. This allows us to maintain field cleanliness throughout the critical growth stages of the beets.

Classified as a Hazard Class 3 product, it requires standard protective measures during handling and application. Its systemic mode of action ensures that difficult weeds like purple dead-nettle are effectively neutralized. For growers, «Betagard, CE» offers a predictable and selective way to protect yields, fitting seamlessly into integrated crop management programs where precision and safety for the main crop are paramount.
