Stefam Noviy

Reliable Weed Control for Sugar and Fodder Beet

In modern beet production, early-season weed competition is the primary threat to yield potential. The «Штефам Новий» (Stefam New) herbicide, produced by DDE Farm AG in Liechtenstein, provides a specialized solution for post-emergence weed management, ensuring crops remain competitive during their most vulnerable growth stages.

Field Application Scenarios

As a selective contact herbicide, «Штефам Новий» is engineered to target broadleaf weeds without imposing stress on the beet crop. Agronomists typically employ this product to control aggressive species that emerge alongside the crop:

• Common lambsquarters and redroot pigweed — the most significant nitrogen competitors.
• Field mustard and shepherd's-purse — rapidly developing weeds that require early intervention.
• Common chickweed, henbit, and field pansy — the formulation effectively clears these from the field.

Operational Benefits

The combination of desmedipham and phenmedipham (carbamates) ensures a fast-acting, selective impact. This is particularly useful for field operations involving intensive crop management:

• Flexible Treatment Cycles: With a capacity for up to 3 applications per season, farmers can target successive germination flushes throughout the growing cycle.
• Selective Action: Because it is a selective herbicide, the product provides maximum control of weeds while allowing the beets to grow unimpeded by chemical stress.
• Dosage Control: With a usage rate of 1–3 liters per hectare, the product offers cost-efficient adjustments based on actual weed pressure in the field.

Presented as a suspension concentrate, the product facilitates easy preparation of the spray solution, ensuring uniform coverage of leaf surfaces. For agricultural professionals, «Штефам Новий» represents a consistent and reliable tool to maintain clean fields and optimize beet productivity.
