Beet Herbicide Spray Programmes

Getting the Best from your Herbicide Programme

Use a pre-emergent Nortron application immediately after planting. This provides weed control through the critical beet crop germination and early development stage.

For post-emergence applications

Start early

• When weeds are smaller, more actively growing and are controlled with lower herbicide rates

Don't allow weeds to get too large

• Weeds larger than 4 true leaves are more difficult to control
• Higher herbicide rates are required which may check the crop

Spray Programmes Using Betanal quattro

If weed emergence delayed or slower – start Betanal quattro programme at beet two true leaf stage.

If herbicide applications are delayed resulting in a high weed pressure/rescue type programme the following is recommended.
