CONVISO® ONE

Beet crops are slow growing and are very susceptible to weed competition during establishment. Fast growing weeds can swiftly outcompete beet crops, especially in the first 8 weeks of establishment. To maximise beet crop yields and quality it is vital that weed competition is eliminated during this early stage.

The CONVISO SMART beet growing system is an innovative approach that revolutionises controlling weeds by allowing CONVISO SMART cultivars to be treated with CONVISO ONE, a very effective, broad-spectrum grass and broad leaf herbicide.

The CONVISO SMART system comprises two elements: CONVISO SMART sugar and fodder beet cultivars bred and marketed by KWS and CONVISO ONE, a broad-spectrum herbicide specifically developed by Bayer. CONVISO ONE is only available as part of the CONVISO SMART system from KWS.

The CONVISO SMART system has significantly simplified weed control for sugar and fodder beet. Two applications of CONVISO ONE plus Partner (adjuvant) applied with a 10-14 day interval will provide very high levels of weed control. The first application is applied when the indicator weed (normally fathen) reaches 2-4 true leaves which ensures weed competition is removed early in the life of the beet crop.
