Goltix, CS (metamitron, 700 g/l)

Why professionals choose Goltix for beet protection

The success of sugar and fodder beet cultivation largely depends on keeping fields clean during the early stages of vegetation. In this segment, Goltix, CS (metamitron, 700 g/l) from the Israeli manufacturer Adama Agan Ltd. is considered a "gold standard." Unlike many broad-spectrum herbicides, this product acts selectively, targeting dicotyledonous weeds without causing stress to the crop itself.

The secret of selectivity and systemic action

The core of the formulation is metamitron, which penetrates weeds through both roots and leaves. As a systemic herbicide, it blocks photosynthesis in weeds like common lambsquarters, pigweed, or mustard, while beets remain unharmed due to their unique ability to rapidly metabolize the compound. Key benefits include:

• Uncompromising Selectivity: Say goodbye to phytotoxicity. Beet growth is not stunted, which is critical during early development phases.
• Soil Barrier: As a soil-applied herbicide, Goltix creates a protective layer that suppresses new flushes of weeds.
• Application Flexibility: Pre-emergence use provides a "clean start," and up to three applications per season ensure full control over weed pressure.

Usage and Efficacy

For maximum effectiveness, the application rate is 2–5 l/ha, depending on weed density and soil type. The product is highly effective against challenging weeds such as shepherd's purse, common chickweed, cleavers, and scentless mayweed. As a suspension concentrate, it performs excellently in tank mixes, allowing you to tailor your crop protection strategy to the specific phytosanitary background of your fields.

Who is this product for? It is designed for agricultural enterprises focused on industrial beet production that refuse to compromise yield for the sake of questionable cost-cutting. If your goal is zero weed competition from day one and minimal crop impact, this Israeli-engineered solution will serve as the foundation of your protection system.
