Goltizan 700, CS

Professional Weed Control for Beet Crops

In the cultivation of fodder beet, early-season weed management is the defining factor for final yield. Goltizan 700, SC, manufactured by DVA Agro GmbH, is a selective systemic herbicide designed to control a broad spectrum of annual broad-leaved and certain grass weeds, ensuring that the crop receives all available nutrients and moisture.

How It Works

The active ingredient, metamitron (a triazine derivative), works by inhibiting photosynthesis. Because it acts both as a soil-applied and post-emergence herbicide, it is absorbed through both the root system and the foliage of weeds. This dual-action mechanism provides a robust shield for the crop throughout its most vulnerable growth stages.

Practical Field Application

Goltizan 700, SC is highly valued by agronomists for its selective activity, which minimizes stress on the beet crop. Below are the key operational aspects of its use:

• Flexible Application Rates: Depending on the weed pressure and soil composition, the application rate ranges from 2 to 5 liters per hectare.
• Multi-Stage Protection: The protocol allows for up to 3 applications per season, enabling growers to create a sustained defense program against staggered weed germination.
• Selective Efficacy: The herbicide effectively eliminates weed competition without impacting the crop’s development, provided the recommended dosage is followed.

The suspension concentrate formulation ensures that the product remains stable in the tank, providing a uniform application across the entire field. By integrating Goltizan 700, SC into the crop protection cycle, farms can maintain cleaner fields and achieve higher yield potential with better quality roots.
