Nortron 500SC

The Benchmark in Beet Crop Protection

«Nortron 500SC» is a cornerstone in the arsenal of professional agronomists for protecting sugar, table, and fodder beet crops. As a selective systemic herbicide, it has gained a reputation for precision and reliability. Backed by the agricultural expertise of industry giants like Bayer AG, Arista SAS, and their associated manufacturing network across Europe and the USA, this product provides a consistent solution for maintaining clean fields.

Core Efficacy and Spectrum

The active ingredient, ethofumesate (a benzofuran derivative), targets the metabolic processes of weeds, inhibiting lipid synthesis and cell division. This mechanism of action is particularly effective against a wide range of problematic weeds, including:

• Common lamb's quarters (Chenopodium album);
• Redroot pigweed (Amaranthus retroflexus);
• Cleavers (Galium aparine) and Chickweed (Stellaria media);
• Field pansy, knotweed, and shepherd's purse.

By acting as both a soil-applied and post-emergence herbicide, Nortron 500SC creates a protective zone that allows the crop to establish itself without the intense competition for nutrients and water.

Application and Field Management

The suspension concentrate formulation ensures ease of use and compatibility in tank mixes. With a flexible dosage range of 1 to 4 liters per hectare, it allows for tailored management of weed pressure. The possibility of up to three applications per season gives growers the agility to respond to weed emergence cycles throughout the vegetative phase.

The product's rigorous production standards are maintained by facilities including Arista SAS (France), Bayer AG (Germany), Cheminova (Germany), and other specialized manufacturers. Holding a class 3 hazard rating, the product emphasizes safe yet potent crop protection, making it a reliable choice for modern farming operations aiming for optimal yields.
