Sultan 50

Weed control for sugar beet and oilseed rape

«Sultan 50» by the Israeli manufacturer Makhteshim Agan is a selective systemic herbicide designed to protect root crops and oilseeds from competitive pressure. It is specifically engineered to control annual dicotyledonous weeds, including lamb's quarters and green foxtail, without causing phytotoxicity to the target crop.

Strategic application in the field

Agronomists favor «Sultan 50» for its versatility in application timing. It acts as both a pre-emergence soil barrier and a post-emergence corrective measure. By deploying this herbicide, farmers can secure the critical early growth stage of crops like fodder beet, sugar beet, and winter rape.

• Pre-emergence: Establishing a herbicide screen in the soil to prevent weeds from germinating.
• Post-emergence: Systemically targeting emerged weeds, ensuring the main crop has clear access to soil nutrients and moisture.

With an application rate of 1.0 to 2.0 liters per hectare, it fits seamlessly into standard spraying protocols. The suspension concentrate formulation ensures ease of handling and mixing in the spray tank.

Operational efficiency

One of the primary benefits for modern farming is the minimal waiting period of just 1 day before harvest, making it highly suitable for intensive vegetable production. As a systemic herbicide, it moves within the weed plant to stop growth, providing a cleaner field with just one application per season. Classified as a category 3 hazard, it provides an effective yet manageable solution for standard weed management programs in fodder beet, cabbage, and oilseed rape fields.
