A new Level of Innovation in Sugarbeet Weed Control
The SMART way to grow sugarbeet
Classic breeding techniques were used to identify and to integrate the tolerance to ALS-inhibitors into KWS breeding programs to make CONVISO® SMART varieties the perfect partner of the new herbicide. The sugarbeet weed control system CONVISO® SMART is jointly being developed by KWS SAAT SE & Co. KGaA and Bayer.
SMART Choice
1. Innovative SMART KWS Varieties
- Developed with classical breeding methods
- Best crop safety to the new herbicide (no impact on crop development)
- Utilization of full yield potential
3. More flexible and efficient weed control
Smaller quantities of active ingredients
Recommended target dose rate per season is 1.0 l/ha
Less frequent applications
1-2 sprayings in a time period of approx. 14 days
Broader application window
The optimum for an application is reached at the 1-3 leaf stage of weeds, but possible up to 6 leaves depending on the species (with full dosage 1.0 l/ha)
More flexibility
The new herbicide can be applied:
- Independent from growth stage and growth conditions of the beet
- Independent from weather conditions before or after the application
Positive environmental effect
Resulting from less applications, the new herbicide can lead to a significant reduction of active substances and CO2 released into the environment.
