Sugar Beet Weeds

Introduction

The growing of sugar beet has been revolutionised in recent decades from a high cost labour intensive crop to the efficient profitable one we know today. Efficient modern herbicides have been one of the major innovations that have made this possible.

Sugar Beet is a slow growing crop that suffers greatly from the competition of weeds which compete for light, space, nutrients and water. It is a very uneven battle, which without intervention would dramatically reduce crop yields. Certain weeds can seriously hamper harvesting and processing slowing down these all-important operations and increasing costs. Others can act as hosts to pests and diseases such as beet cyst nematodes, and violet root rot as well as contributing to the build up of weed seeds in the soil if left unchecked.

The choice of products whether used alone, in mixtures, or in a programme is critical to the success of controlling weeds. It is necessary to understand which weeds are controlled by which products, what size of weeds are controlled, and because beet is a very sensitive plant, at what crop stage the various herbicides may be applied.

Adapting to the changing face of sugar beet production in Europe, UPL Europe Ltd., formerly known as United Phosphorus Limited, has used their expertise to develop an unequalled range of cost effective products to support farmers.

BEETUP COMPACT SC is a selective post-emergent herbicide for the control of annual weeds in sugar beet. It contains an 80:80 ratio of phenmedipham combined with desmedipham.

The addition of a robust rate of desmedipham means; greater activity than phenmedipham alone with more rapid contact action and improved efficacy against key weeds. The co-formulation is optimised to aid ethofumesate to penetrate the target surface effectively and BEETUP COMPACT SC is more stable and therefore less reliant on temperature and light than phenmedipham alone.

Product ProfileBrand BEETUP COMPACT SCActive ingredient phenmedipham desmediphamInclusion rate 80g/l + 80g/lFormulation Suspension Concentrate (SC)Crops Sugar beet, fodder beetMaximum individual dose 2 l/haMaximum number of treatments –Maximum total dose 6 l/haLatest timing of application Before crop leaves meet between the rows (BBCH 39)Pack size 5 litresLERAP BWater volume 100 litresHarvest interval Fodder beet must not be grazed by livestock or harvested for

animal consumption until at least 35 days after last application

Best Use AdviceThe application of BEETUP COMPACT SC to crops suffering from stress may lead to a check in growth.

If substantial day to night fluctuations in temperature occur shortly before or after the application, growth may be checked.

Weeds are best controlled at the seedling stage when growing actively in warm, moist, sunny conditions. Under poor growing conditions control may be reduced.

MAPP No 15566


Crop ToleranceAll commercial varieties of Sugar Beet can be sprayed if healthy. Timing should be determined by the stage of growth of the weeds present.

As the beet plants are small and grow rapidly they can by affected by changes in conditions and become stressed.

The safety of BEETUP COMPACT SC to the crop will vary with conditions around the time of application.

If the plants are sprayed when they are stressed, this may lead to a check in growth from which they may not recover.

Causes of stress include:Temperatures above 21°C Nutrient deficiencyWind or hail FrostPests and diseases Use of other herbicides

Weeds Controlled (see centre pages)

BEETUP COMPACT SC should be used as a repeat low dose treatment when weeds are at the cotyledon stage. If sprayed at later growth stages weed control may be reduced.

BEETUP COMPACT SC is a contact herbicide that is dependant for action on light and temperature.

BEETUP FLO is one of the building blocks integral to the UPL portfolio of quality sugar beet herbicides.

BEETUP FLO is a contact herbicide for the control of a selection of broadleaved weeds in sugar beet, fodder beet, red beet and mangels.

Product ProfileBrand BEETUP FLOActive ingredient phenmedipham Inclusion rate 160g/l Formulation Suspension Concentrate (SC)Crops Sugar beet, fodder beet, red beet and mangels

Maximum individual dose Either 2 l/ha or 3 l/haMaximum number of treatments Either 3 per crop or 2 per crop

Latest timing of application Before crop leaves meet between the rows (BBCH 39)Pack size 5 litresLERAP BWater volume 80 – 100 l/ha


BEETUP FLO should be used as a repeat low dose treatment when weeds are still small. Best control is achieved at the cotyledon stage. It is normal for a repeat low dose treatment to be applied as an overall spray.

BEETUP FLO is a contact herbicide that is dependent for action on light and temperature. This affects both weed control and crop safety. This is particularly important for application under hot conditions to crops under stress and for tank mixtures.

MAPP No 14328


BEETUP FLO is absorbed through the leaves of the weeds and effects should be seen within five to six days of spraying. Weed response will vary according to conditions at spraying and the stage of growth of individual weeds.

Weeds are best controlled at the seedling stage when growing actively in warm, moist, sunny conditions. Under poor growing conditions control may be reduced. Susceptible weeds quickly die and in warm weather will be dead in 3-4 days. More tolerant weeds may take longer to die.

Under cool conditions results may not be complete for as long as 7-10 days.

BEETUP FLO will not prevent germination of weed seed after treatment and where this occurs further applications may be made provided the crop is in a healthy state and the other conditions for safe use are complied with.

As BEETUP FLO has only contact action it is not affected by soil type and can be used on organic and peaty soils as well as mineral soils.

Tank MixesPlease note that the following tank mixes have been tested for physical compatibility with BEETUP FLO at recommended rates of use and will mix in the sprayer tank. Physical compatibilities may not be approved tank mixes. These tests have not been undertaken to check for any adverse crop phytotoxicity or for the biological efficacy of the individual products when applied as a tank-mix. UPL accepts no liability for physical compatibilities; therefore use is at grower’s own risk.

BETASANA TRIO is a selective post-emergent herbicide for the control of annual weeds in sugar beet, fodder beet and mangels.

BETASANA TRIO combines three complementary active ingredients

Ethofumesate for• Long lasting weed control• Good activity against weeds,

including black-grass• Mode of action different to

other sugar beet actives• Enhancing the contact

activity of other herbicides

Phenmedipham for• Effective contact action• Safe at all stages of growth• Proven reliability

Desmedipham for• Rapid contact action• Improved activity under

difficult/cool conditions• Improved efficacy against key

weeds• Aids ethofumesate to

penetrate weeds

Beet crops are extremely sensitive and can easily be damaged by herbicides. This can result in reduced yields and lower returns. BETASANA TRIO is proven to significantly reduce the threat of crop damage.

Using a specially formulated mixture of the three active ingredients above BETASANA TRIO provides the highest level of weed control with unparalleled crop safety.

VIVENDI 200 is a post-emergence foliar acting herbicide. It is fully translocated throughout the plant and affects all parts of susceptible weeds.

VIVENDI 200 is used for the control of some annual broad-leaved weeds, but especially for the control of thistles and volunteer potatoes.

Product ProfileBrand VIVENDI 200Active ingredient clopyralidInclusion rate 200 g/lFormulation Soluble Concentrate (SL)Crops Sugar beet, red beet, fodder beet and mangelsMaximum individual dose 1.0 litres/hectareMaximum total dose 1.5 litres/hectareEarliest timing of application 1 March in the year of harvestLatest timing of application When the crops meet between the rows (BBCH39)Pack size 1 litreLERAP –Water volume 80 – 300 l/ha

Creeping thistle controlFor optimum control of creeping thistles a sequence of VIVENDI 200 applications is the most appropriate approach. The first application should be made when the weeds are at the rosette growth stage, followed by a second application three to four weeks later. It is likely that applications of VIVENDI 200 will be part of a sequential low dose program in 80 to 100 litres of water with tank mix partners. It is worth noting one creeping thistle stem per square metre can reduce the yield of sugar beet by one tonne per hectare.

Volunteer potato controlA total of 1.0 l/ha of VIVENDI 200 is required for control and ideally this should be applied as two doses of 0.5 l/ha. Where emergence is protracted this can be split over 3 or 4 applications. The first application should be made when the volunteer potato shoots are between 5cm and 10cm tall. The second application should be made when untreated volunteer potatoes are between 10cm and 20cm tall. For an accurate guide to when this stage is reached; it is advisable to leave a small area of untreated volunteer potatoes in the field. Typically the second application is made 7 to 14 days after the first.

VIVENDI 200 applied in tank mixture with ethofumesate as in ETHOFOL 500SC or OBLIX 500SC is the best treatment against volunteer potatoes in sugar beet.

MAPP No 16966MAPP 15017 final use date 31.03.19


The effect on progeny tubers is carried through to succeeding generations, thus reducing the threat from volunteers in the second year after treatment.

Tank Mixes Please note that the following tank mixes have been tested for physical compatibility with VIVENDI 200 at recommended rates of use and will mix in the sprayer tank. Physical compatibilities may not be approved tank mixes. These tests have not been undertaken to check for any adverse crop phytotoxicity or for the biological efficacy of the individual products when applied as a tank-mix.
