Why Betanal maxxPro?

High levels of weed control are essential if you are to achieve the yields needed to produce profitable sugar beet crops. Betanal maxxPro’s advanced formulation optimises spreading and coverage and enhances spray solution quality. It ensures even distribution and fast and reliable uptake of the active substances.

Getting the best from Betanal maxxPro

Betanal maxxPro brings the ultimate flexibilty to target optimal dates and spraying hours. Used in a low-volume overall spray programme, well-timed applications of Betanal maxxPro from the cotyledon stage of the crop will control annual broad-leaved weeds up to, and including, the fully expanded cotyledon stage. Apply the first spray at 1.25 L/ha when weeds are at cotyledon stage and increase to 1.5 L/ha for second and subsequent sprays to the crop at or beyond two true leaf stage.

Always apply as a FINE quality spray in a water volume of 80 – 200 L/ha.

Important things to remember

When tank-mixing always fully disperse WG and WP products before adding Betanal maxxPro
Certain tank-mixes may require additional adjuvant oil for improved weed control in difficult circumstances or when recommended for partner products
Do not use adjuvant oil during periods of rapid growth or when crops are under stress
Application to crops suffering from stress may lead to a check in growth from which the crop may not recover or, in extreme cases, lead to crop loss
