BETTIX (BETTIX)

Professional Weed Control for Beet Crops

Maintaining clean fields of fodder and table beets requires a precise herbicide strategy. The herbicide BETTIX (VETTIX), based on metamitron, serves as a cornerstone for post-emergence weed management. This systemic, selective herbicide is engineered to inhibit photosynthesis in target weeds, ensuring the main crop is free from competition for nutrients and moisture.

The product effectively controls a wide spectrum of broad-leaved weeds, including common lamb's quarters, pigweed, shepherd's purse, chickweed, cleavers, black bindweed, fumitory, and red dead-nettle. Because it is a selective herbicide, it provides high efficacy without compromising the development of the beet crop when applied according to recommended guidelines.

Field Application and Strategy

• Timing and Efficiency: For optimal control, applications should be timed during the early growth stages of weeds, specifically from the cotyledon stage to the two-true-leaf stage.
• Formulation Quality: Presented as a suspension concentrate, BETTIX (VETTIX) ensures excellent tank-mix compatibility and uniform spray distribution, preventing clogging of nozzles and ensuring full leaf coverage.
• Global Standards: The product is a result of cooperation between industry leaders: Punjab Chemicals and Crop Protection Ltd. (India), UPL Europe Ltd. (UK), and Cerexagri B.V. (Netherlands). This international collaboration guarantees a high-quality formulation meeting rigorous agricultural standards.

Whether managing industrial-scale sugar beet or smaller plots of fodder beet, this product offers the flexibility needed for modern herbicide programs. Its systemic action means it works effectively both through leaf contact and residual soil activity, providing a robust buffer against secondary weed germination.
