Gol

Reliable crop protection for fodder beet from DDE Farm AG

The herbicide "Gol" is a selective systemic preparation developed by DDE Farm AG (Triesen, Liechtenstein), which has established itself as a specialized tool for fodder beet protection. In intensive farming, where weeds compete with the crop during early growth stages, this product serves as a precise solution to clear fields without damaging the crop itself.

Technical features and spectrum of action

The herbicide belongs to the triazine class and is based on the active ingredient metamitron. Its primary advantage is selectivity: it penetrates weeds mainly through the leaf surface, blocking vital metabolic processes. The product targets the most aggressive weed species for beet crops, including:

• Common lambsquarters and redroot pigweed
• Green foxtail and field mustard
• Shepherd's purse, common chickweed, common fumitory, and purple dead-nettle

"Gol" is a post-emergence herbicide. Its application requires precision: the recommended consumption rate varies from 2.0 to 3.0 l/ha, potentially exceeding 3.0 l/ha depending on weed density and development stage. The suspension concentrate formulation is optimized for easy preparation and uniform distribution across the leaf area.

Application guidelines

According to the manufacturer's protocol, up to three treatments per season are permitted. This allows farmers to adjust their protection strategy based on weed germination cycles. It is essential to observe the pre-harvest interval of 30 days. As a class 3 hazardous material, the product requires adherence to standard safety procedures during field application.

Choosing "Gol" from Liechtenstein means opting for a time-tested European formulation designed to ensure field cleanliness during the most critical vegetation stages of fodder beet.
