What is the correct procedure to follow when controlling creeping thistle in sugar beet?
Successful control of creeping thistle in sugar beet is based on the use of Dow Shield†in conjunction with other herbicides, such as ethofumesate + phenmedipham and metamitron with oil. It is essential to follow up this treatment with an additional 1.0l/ha of Dow Shield three to four weeks after the initial application. For more detailed information please see the Thistles pages in the sugar beet section.
