Phenmedipham 91 g/L + Desmedipham 71 g/L + Ethofumesate 112 g/L EC Herbicide

This herbicide is made specifically for post-emergence use in sugar beet. It is applied after the beet emerges, when young broadleaf weeds are at the 2–4 leaf stage. At this moment, weeds are sensitive, and the crop is strong enough to tolerate a selective herbicide.

Key points:

• Triple active ingredient blend with a total content of 274 g/L
• EC (emulsifiable concentrate) formulation for good spreading and leaf coverage
• Selective weed control in sugar beet when used at the correct timing and rate
• One application per season, fitting well into modern resistance management programs

For your customers, it can be described in simple terms as a “sugar beet post-emergence broadleaf herbicide” that should be used early, when weeds are still small and easy to control.

Active Ingredients and Formulation

This product contains three active ingredients:

• Phenmedipham – 91 g/L
• Desmedipham – 71 g/L
• Ethofumesate – 112 g/L

Total active ingredient content: 274 g/L in an EC (emulsifiable concentrate) formulation.

The EC formulation:

• Mixes quickly with clean water
• Spreads well across leaf surfaces
• Gives good contact with young weed leaves
• Is easy to handle, pour and measure in the field

The combination of these three active ingredients is designed to give fast knockdown and more reliable control of many annual broadleaf weeds compared with single-active products.

Mode of Action

The three active ingredients work together but in slightly different ways, which creates a strong and balanced herbicide effect.

• Phenmedipham and Desmedipham
  • Both belong to the carbamate-type herbicides that disrupt photosynthesis.
  • They work mainly as contact herbicides, acting on the leaves of the weed.
  • They are absorbed through the foliage and quickly reduce the weed’s ability to produce energy via photosynthesis.
  • Sensitive weeds stop growing, leaves become pale, then necrotic, and the plants die.
• Ethofumesate
  • Provides both foliar and some root uptake.
  • Helps to improve residual action and broadens the spectrum of weed control.
  • Supports more complete control of difficult broadleaf weeds when used at the correct stage.

Together, the three components give:

• Fast contact effect on leaf tissue
• Improved depth and duration of action via ethofumesate
• Strong performance on a range of annual broadleaf weeds in sugar beet fields

Because of this multi-active mode of action, the product should be used only once per season and always at the right timing to balance weed control and crop safety.

Target Weeds

This triple-mix herbicide is designed to control annual broadleaf weeds that are common in sugar beet fields. Typical targets include:

• Amaranths and pigweeds
• Lambsquarters-type weeds
• Mustards and other small-seeded broadleaf weeds
• Various other annual broadleaf species that emerge soon after the beet crop

Control is best when:

• Weeds are at the 2–4 leaf stage
• Plants are actively growing and not hardened by drought or extreme weather
• Spray coverage is uniform across the field

By removing these early broadleaf weeds, the product helps sugar beet plants keep access to light, water and nutrients, supporting stronger growth and higher yield potential.

Crops and Application Scenarios

This herbicide is specifically intended for sugar beet fields.

Typical scenario:

• Crop: Sugar beet
• Timing: After crop emergence, when weeds have reached 2–4 leaf stage
• Site: Open-field sugar beet cultivation, including large commercial beet farms

It is not designed for cereals, maize, soybean or other crops. Because it is selective to sugar beet but can injure other crops, it is very important to keep spray drift away from neighbouring fields.

For seed production fields and special beet varieties, local experience and small-scale testing are recommended before broad use, especially when previous residual herbicides may still be present in the soil.

Usage Guidelines

The following guidelines are general. Always follow the official label in your country.

• Apply once per season in sugar beet.
• Use in post-emergence of the crop, when beet seedlings are established and broadleaf weeds are at 2–4 leaf stage.
• Use clean water to dilute the product, and select a spray volume that gives full coverage of the weed leaves. In dry conditions, a slightly higher spray volume helps to improve contact.
• Treat on calm days to avoid spray drift to neighbouring crops, gardens or non-target plants.
• Avoid spraying under extreme temperatures (too cold or too hot), severe drought or strong wind, as these conditions can reduce efficacy or increase crop stress.
• For sugar beet fields under plastic film or with very high soil temperatures near the surface, use the product with extra care and consider lower rates or local technical advice.
• On weak, stressed or diseased beet plants, treatment should be made cautiously, as crop tolerance is reduced.

The product should not be mixed with strongly acidic or alkaline pesticides or fertilizers, because it can break down more quickly in such tank mixes and lose effectiveness.

Because the herbicide is intended for early, small weeds, later applications on older, hardened weeds will give weaker results and higher risk of visible crop effects.

Product Performance and Benefits

For growers and your distribution network, this product offers several clear advantages.

Agronomic benefits

• Strong control of annual broadleaf weeds in sugar beet fields when applied on young weeds
• Fast visible effect on weed leaves, giving confidence to farmers that the product is working
• Good fit for seedling-stage weed management, which is critical for beet yield and quality
• Triple-active formulation helps to broaden weed control and improve reliability versus single-active products

Crop safety and flexibility

• Designed for post-emergence use in beet, not for pre-emergence
• When used at the right beet growth stage and under recommended conditions, crop injury is usually limited to temporary leaf spotting, and the plants recover within about two weeks
• Helps farmers avoid severe weed pressure later in the season, reducing the need for extra treatments

Commercial value

• Well-known active ingredients in many sugar beet markets
• Clear technical positioning: “Sugar beet post-emergence broadleaf herbicide”
• Good base for OEM/private label brands targeted at beet-growing regions
• Supports long-term relationships with farmers through stable performance and repeat sales

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is this triple-mix herbicide used for?
It is used for post-emergence weed control in sugar beet fields. It targets annual broadleaf weeds when they are young and actively growing, helping to keep the beet rows clean and uniform.

Why combine Phenmedipham, Desmedipham and Ethofumesate?
The three active ingredients work together. Phenmedipham and Desmedipham provide strong contact activity on weed leaves, while Ethofumesate adds depth and some residual effect. The combination gives broader and more reliable control than many single-active products.

When should I apply the herbicide in sugar beet?
The best timing is after beet emergence, when the crop is stable and the broadleaf weeds are at the 2–4 leaf stage. Applying too early, too late or under extreme weather can reduce selectivity and performance.

Can this herbicide injure sugar beet?
The product is selective to sugar beet when used correctly. Some temporary leaf spotting or scorch may appear after spraying, but plants usually recover in about two weeks. On weak or stressed beet, or under extreme temperatures, the risk of visible injury is higher, so extra care is needed.

Can I mix it with other pesticides or fertilizers?
It should not be mixed with strongly acidic or alkaline products, as this may break down the actives and reduce efficacy. Always check local label guidance and, if allowed, test tank mixes on a small area before large-scale spraying.

What weather conditions are best for application?
Spray on a calm day, without strong wind, and avoid very hot or very cold conditions. In dry weather, a slightly higher spray volume can help improve coverage on weed leaves.
