Pilot, KS, herbicide

Ensuring Sugar Beet Crop Integrity with «Avgust-Bel»

For agricultural professionals, maintaining clean fields is a prerequisite for high yields in beet cultivation. Pilot, SC, a herbicide developed by «Avgust-Bel», serves as a proven tool designed to manage aggressive broad-leaved weeds. It is a staple in many modern crop protection programs due to its reliability and selectivity.

The product is based on metamitron, a triazine compound that acts as a systemic, selective herbicide. Unlike non-selective agents, Pilot is designed to be applied post-emergence, targeting problematic weeds such as common lambsquarters, redroot pigweed, field mustard, shepherd's purse, and common chickweed without stressing the crop. By absorbing the active ingredient through their leaves, weeds are eliminated, allowing the beet plants to focus their energy on growth.
