Neolith

Professional weed control for fodder beet

Fodder beet is notoriously sensitive to weed competition during early growth stages. The herbicide "Neolit", produced by F.Superus Co., Ltd. (Hong Kong/Shanghai, China), provides a targeted solution for maintaining clean fields without damaging the crop. This systemic herbicide is designed for selective control, making it a reliable choice for commercial farming.

Key features and target weeds

"Neolit" functions as both a leaf-applied and soil-active agent, offering a dual-action defense. It is specifically formulated to combat aggressive weeds that sap nutrients from the beet crop, such as:

• Perennial grasses: Couch grass (Elytrigia repens);
• Broad-leaved weeds: Field thistle, White goosefoot (Chenopodium album), Field mustard, and Wild radish;
• Other common weeds: Field pennycress and Shepherd's purse.

As a post-emergence herbicide, it is best applied during the active growth phase. Its systemic mode of action ensures that the active substance reaches the root system, preventing regrowth of perennial weeds.

Field application advantages

With a dosage of up to 25 grams per hectare, "Neolit" is highly cost-effective for large-scale operations. It is formulated as a suspension concentrate, which simplifies the preparation of the working solution. Farmers can perform up to two treatments per season, ensuring consistent crop protection throughout critical growth periods.

The product falls under Hazard Class 3, requiring standard safety protocols for handling agrochemicals. Because of its selective nature, it acts specifically on the weed biology, allowing the fodder beet to develop without the typical herbicidal stress that might otherwise impact yield potential.
