Application Tips

  • Sugar beets are highly sensitive to herbicides. While Betamix and Nortron SC are two of the safest products, to minimize crop injury, follow product precautions closely. Avoid herbicide applications when the beet crop is already under stress.
  • When tank-mixing with Pyramin® or Ro-Neet®, add Nortron SC first and agitate thoroughly
  • Apply Nortron SC before or at planting and incorporate to a depth of 2.5 to 5.0 cm
