Betaren Ekspres Am

Three-Component Defense for Sugar and Fodder Beet

Controlling weeds in beet fields often forces agronomists to balance between aggressive weed eradication and crop safety. «Betaren Express AM» from «ZAT Shchelkovo Agrokhim» provides a proven solution through the synergy of three active ingredients: desmedipham, phenmedipham, and ethofumesate. This specific combination of carbamates and benzofurans allows for selective action, targeting only the weeds while keeping the crop safe.

Key Strengths and Mechanism

The primary advantage of this herbicide is its high selectivity. Designed specifically for beet production, the systemically acting components penetrate weeds rapidly, shutting down photosynthesis and cell division processes.

• Broad Spectrum: Highly effective against the most stubborn annual broad-leaved weeds, including common lambsquarters, pigweed, field mustard, and field bindweed.
• Grass Control: Includes components that suppress green foxtail and couch grass, making it essential for fields with complex weed populations.
• Application Flexibility: The post-emergence foliar application allows farmers to target weeds when they are most vulnerable (cotyledon stage).

Usage and Efficiency

The product is supplied as an emulsifiable concentrate, ensuring easy dissolution and uniform coverage. With an application rate of 1.0 to 2.0 L/ha, «Betaren Express AM» offers flexibility in budgeting crop protection costs. However, it is crucial to note that the maximum number of treatments per season is three. Strict adherence to application protocols and temperature guidelines is mandatory to prevent any phytotoxic effects on the beets.

This herbicide is an optimal choice for farms practicing classic multi-stage protection schemes. Rated as a Hazard Class 3 chemical, it requires standard safety precautions, making it suitable for intensive agriculture without posing extreme risks to field staff.
