What is the correct procedure to follow when controlling volunteer potatoes in sugar beet?
Dow Shield†, applied in tank mixture with ethofumesate containing products, is the very best treatment against volunteer potatoes in sugar beet. The effect on progeny tubers is carried through to succeeding generations, thus reducing the threat from volunteers in the second year after treatment. For more detailed information please see the Volunteer Potatoes pages in the sugar beet section. For more in-depth advice about controlling volunteer potatoes read A Practical Guide to Achieving Integrated Control of Volunteer Potatoes (1.0MB PDF).
