Minimum of 40 L/acre.
Mixing Instructions

Application Tips
Applications should be made 5 - 10 days apart or as weeds germinate. Weeds should be actively growing and
not under stress. For best results, apply to small, emerged weeds between the cotyledon and 4 true leaf stage
at approximately 5 cm tall or across. Applications made to larger weeds or to weeds under stress may result in
unsatisfactory control. Since UpBeet has little or no soil activity, only weeds that have emerged above the soil
surface will be controlled. Use sequential tank mix applications to control new weed flushes. Timely cultivation(s)
can be used in addition to UpBeet tank mixes for optimum weed control in a sugar beet management program. Dry,
dusty field conditions may reduce weed control in wheel track areas. Higher water volumes may improve control in
these conditions.
How it Works
Absorbed through foliage. Inhibits cell elongation.
Expected Results
UpBeet herbicide rapidly stops the growth of susceptible weeds; weeds turn yellow usually 7 - 21 days after post-
emergent application, followed by the death of the growing plant. Cool and/or dry conditions may reduce or delay
