Overview
For the best weed control in sugarbeets, use Nortron pre-emergent, followed by Betamix post-emergent
- Crop-safe, effective broad-spectrum weed control in sugarbeets
- Flexible timing to suit your operation
- Tank-mix options to target specific weeds
| Application type | Application rate | Application timing |
| Single application |
5.5-9.5 L |
Broadcast basis, when the weeds are in the cotyledonary up to the 4-true leaf stage. Apply only to sugarbeets past the 2-true leaf stage. |
| Repeat application |
5.5-7.0 L/ha |
For control of later germinating weeds, make a second application of Betamix. Allow at least 7 days between first and second applications. |
| Split application |
2.3-3.5 L/ha |
May be applied to sugar beets at any stage of growth (as early as cotyledon) when necessary to control early germinating, difficult-to-control weeds. The first spray must be applied when the earliest weeds have reached the cotyledon stage. A second application should be made 5 to 7 days following the first application, or when another flush of weeds germinates, in order to control any weeds not completely controlled by the first treatment. If the second application is delayed (i.e. by more than 7 days), full rate treatment as described above will be necessary. |
Application Tips
- Rainfastness: 6 hours
- Sugarbeets are highly sensitive to herbicides. While Betamix and Nortron SC are two of the safest products to use to minimize crop injury, follow product precautions closely.
- Avoid herbicide applications when the beet crop is already under stress
- For best results, spray when weeds are between cotyledon and two-true leaf stage
- Best results are achieved when weeds are actively growing and not under water or heat stress
