BETANAL
Preparation No.1 for the protection of sugar beet
History
17-th century

Since the beginning of sugar beet cultivation on the continent of Eurasia, sugar producers have sought to destroy weeds in beet crops.

Weed control required a lot of labor, because in those days 90% manual labor and 10% agrotechnical methods were used for this difficult task
Due to the complexity of weed control, growing sugar beet on large areas (more than 200 hectares) was difficult or impossible.
Therefore, it was important to develop the sugar beet industry
In modern agriculture, the area of sugar beet cultivation reaches several thousand hectares in large farms. This became possible thanks to the use of a chemical method of weed control. Initially, soil herbicides were used in sugar beet crops, but their action was often insufficient for effective weed control.
In the early stages, in parallel with chemical methods, manual and agrotechnical methods of control continued to be actively used 😔
Decision ✨
Many of the world's leading manufacturers of the chemical industry were looking for active substances with the possibility of using sugar beet on vegetative plants.
The breakthrough was the appearance of the drug betanal. The use of the betanal family of products made it possible to completely abandon manual and agrotechnical methods of weed control in sugar beet crops.
