Triceps

Effective weed control in forage beet crops

"Triceps" from ZAO Firma August (Vurnary, Russia) is a specialized post-emergence herbicide designed for targeted application in forage beet crops. This product has become a reliable solution for farmers needing to clear fields of a wide range of broadleaf weeds without damaging the sensitive crop.

Active substance and selectivity

The product is based on triflusulfuron-methyl, a systemic component that penetrates weeds through the leaves and quickly halts their growth. The key advantage of "Triceps" lies in its selective action: it effectively suppresses the development of common lambsquarters, redroot pigweed, ragweed, field mustard, wild radish, field pennycress, and shepherd's purse, while remaining safe for beet when applied according to the label.

Technical specifications and application

• Form: Water-soluble granules, facilitating easy preparation of the working solution.
• Type: Systemic foliar herbicide ensuring deep penetration into weed tissues.
• Application rate: 0.03–0.06 kg/ha, making it cost-effective in intensive crop protection programs.
• Flexibility: Up to 3 treatments per season are allowed, allowing for the control of consecutive weed "flushes".

Classified as a Hazard Class 3 substance, the product requires standard precautions and personal protective equipment. Thanks to its post-emergence application method, agronomists can assess the actual weed pressure in the field before application, using "Triceps" precisely when the weeds are in their most vulnerable growth stage.
