Two chemicals significant1$' reducod the sh.nd of beets. These
were Zytron and salt. Twelve treatments significantly increased the
yield of marketable beets andcaapared to the untreated check. These
treatments include all pre-planting treatments with EPrC or .B.-206l, aU
pre-emergence treatments with TCA; either"aJone or 'in combination with
Endothal, TD 62 i or 'I'D 47, 'the treatment of Endothal andTD 47 and
Vegadex treatments. T-hebest yields were obtained with plots treated
with TCA in combination with Endothal or TD 62 in apre-emergence
application or with R-2061 in a'Pre-planting application.
Conclusion
In this years exper:iment the best yields, were in plots receiving
the combination treatment of Endothal and TCAapplied jus-t· prior the,
emergence of the beets. ' The chemicalR-2061 applied prior to planting
and incorporated in the soil looks prom.ising for the weeding of this
crop.
