Israeli crop protection standards

"Zlatomitron," produced by F.Makhteshim Chemical Works, represents a reliable solution for weed control in fodder beet fields. Leveraging the power of metamitron, a triazine-based active ingredient, this herbicide has become a cornerstone for farmers seeking selective and effective weed management.

Systemic control mechanisms

As a selective systemic herbicide, "Zlatomitron" focuses on eliminating unwanted vegetation while ensuring the safety of the beet crop. It is highly effective against a wide range of broadleaf weeds, including:

• Common lambsquarters and redroot pigweed;
• Field mustard;
• Shepherd's purse;
• Common chickweed and cleavers;
• Purple dead-nettle.

Available as a suspension concentrate, the formulation ensures stability and ease of mixing. It can be applied as a pre-emergence (soil) herbicide, establishing a defensive layer, as well as a post-emergence treatment, providing flexibility in agricultural management.

Application guidelines

With a maximum of 3 treatments allowed per season, "Zlatomitron" offers significant versatility. The application rate ranges from 1 to 6 liters per hectare, depending on weed pressure and crop growth stage. Classified under hazard class 3, it is designed for standard professional agricultural use. By integrating this F.Makhteshim Chemical Works product into a crop protection program, producers can minimize weed competition and support healthier, more productive fodder beet development.
