Ritter BT, KS, herbicide

Ensuring clean maize fields with Ritter BT

For agronomists managing maize crops, the period between the 3rd and 6th leaf stage is crucial for weed management. Ritter BT, SC by Inforce Chemical is a systemic, selective herbicide designed specifically to address this challenge. Based on nicosulfuron, this leaf-applied herbicide effectively targets both annual and perennial grass and broad-leaved weeds without causing phytotoxicity to the crop.

Operational field scenarios

Ritter BT is a staple choice for farms prioritizing post-emergence control. Its flexibility allows farmers to scout the field and apply the treatment precisely when weed pressure becomes visible, rather than relying on guesswork.

• Perennial control: The systemic mode of action ensures the herbicide travels to the root system, which is essential for combating stubborn perennial grasses.
• Selective protection: Designed exclusively for maize, the herbicide works selectively, allowing the crop to maintain its vigor while the competition is eliminated.

Technical recommendations for application

The suspension concentrate formulation ensures consistent results and excellent coverage during spraying. Depending on the weed density and composition, the application rate ranges from 1.0 to 2.0 liters per hectare. According to the usage guidelines, a single application per season is sufficient to provide the necessary protection during the crop's most critical growth stage. As a class 3 hazard product, it requires standard careful handling and equipment calibration. Ritter BT remains a reliable, cost-effective solution for professionals looking to maximize yields by reducing weed-related stress in maize fields.
