Preemergent applications of Maxtron 4SC protect sugar beets through germination, emergence, and early seedling growth, and have demonstrated effective control of susceptible weed species for up to 10 weeks in sugar beets. Maxtron 4SC can be applied using ground or aerial equipment and exhibits excellent handling and storage characteristics.

“This is a highly anticipated addition to Albaugh’s herbicide portfolio,” said Andy Bogue, Albaugh U.S. Sales Director – Crop Protection. “Maxtron 4SC will give customers, particularly sugar beet growers in the Red River Valley, a new alternative to combat glyphosate-resistant waterhemp in their Roundup Ready sugar beets.”
