Triumph

Why "Triumph" is a Staple in Beet Protection

Successful fodder beet cultivation directly depends on how effectively you control weeds during critical growth stages. The "Triumph" herbicide by Nertus is a classic three-component solution chosen by agronomists for its predictable results and high selectivity.

Unlike single-active ingredient products, "Triumph" combines desmedipham, phenmedipham, and ethofumesate. This combination allows for effective work in high-pressure fields dominated by common lambsquarters and green foxtail. The primary goal of the preparation is to thoroughly clear crops of annual broadleaf weeds during their active growth phase.

Practical Application and Efficiency

"Triumph" works both systemically and through contact, penetrating weeds via leaves and the root system (thanks to the ethofumesate component). In field conditions, this provides high operational flexibility:

• Post-emergence control: The product is applied to actively growing weeds after the beet has emerged.
• Selectivity: Due to its selective nature, the crop does not experience severe stress, provided that application rates (0.5 to 1.0 l/ha) are followed.
• Flexible timing: Up to 3 applications are allowed, which enables the implementation of effective weed control schedules targeting different "flushes" of weeds without over-treating the crop in a single pass.

The emulsifiable concentrate formulation ensures high-quality mixing in tank mixtures, which is crucial for field operations. The product belongs to toxicity class 3, requiring standard safety precautions but allowing for use in intensive crop rotations without the risk of long-term soil persistence.

Agronomist's Advice

For maximum effectiveness, "Triumph" performs best in split application schemes. The first treatment should target the cotyledon stage of weeds when they are most vulnerable. Subsequent applications follow as new flushes emerge. Note that the systemic component, ethofumesate, provides a "residual" effect, creating a soil barrier that gives the beet crop a competitive advantage during early development.
