CARIBU 50, WP, + PAR TREND 90

Professional weed control for fodder beet

When you are managing fodder beet, weed competition is the primary risk to your yields. «Karibu 50» combined with the «Trend 90» surfactant is a reliable, field-tested tool that allows for precise, selective weed control. As a practitioner, I find this systemic herbicide essential for its ability to clear the field without stressing the crop when applied according to technical guidelines.

Operational insights and application

The product comes as a wettable powder, which mixes easily in the tank. The key to successful application is timing: target the weeds at the cotyledon stage to early true leaves. Delaying the application significantly reduces its effectiveness, so regular scouting is a must.

• Dosage: A rate of 0.03–0.06 kg/ha provides the necessary efficacy against a wide range of broadleaf weeds.
• Target Weeds: Highly effective against common lambsquarters, redroot pigweed, field mustard, wild radish, shepherd's purse, chickweed, cleavers, and fumitory.
• Best Practices: Always use with the «Trend 90» surfactant to improve spray coverage and ensure optimal uptake of the triflusulfuron-methyl active ingredient.
• Safety: Maximum of 3 applications per season, with a 30-day pre-harvest interval to ensure safety standards.

In practice, the selectivity of this product is its greatest strength. It is a robust solution that allows the fodder beet to develop without nutrient competition. By following the recommendations from DuPont, you get a clean field with minimal effort, making your crop management much more predictable.
