Why "Gorizont, KE" has become the standard in beet protection

When you head out to the fields and see your fodder beet rows starting to get overrun by weeds, there’s no time for hesitation. "Gorizont, KE" from Sunrise Chemicals is the kind of product where you use a proven three-component composition and know exactly what to expect in a week. The combination of desmedipham, phenmedipham, and ethofumesate in an emulsifiable concentrate works like clockwork, especially against the annual broadleaf weeds that usually choke the crop at the start.

Application and Dosage

The systemic action of this product means you don't have to worry about misses during spraying. The most important thing is to maintain the rate of 1–3 L/ha. In my experience, it is critical to hit the right weed growth stage before they get too strong. As a post-emergence herbicide, we apply it directly to the leaves. The selectivity of the product means you don't have to worry about the beets themselves — they remain untouched, while the weeds stop growing almost immediately.

• Flexible System: You can perform up to 3 treatments per season. This is crucial if the field is infested unevenly or if there are secondary waves of weeds.
• Composition Stability: The classic formula of carbamates and benzofuran derivatives provides predictable results even with moderate temperature fluctuations.
• Safety: The Class 3 toxicity rating requires standard precautions, which is routine for field work.

Managing the application process is hassle-free: the emulsifiable concentrate mixes perfectly and doesn't clog nozzles, which saves a lot of time when working on large acreages. The golden rule is to follow the regulations and not delay the application; if you do that, "Gorizont" delivers 100% on its promise.
