Belchim USA sponsored Thursday’s live broadcast from the International Sugar Beet Institute in Fargo. Compared to one year ago, the Belchim USA Spin-Aid product has gone through changes. “The label now allows us to use it on the cotyledon stage sugarbeets for kochia control, we also offer a common ragweed recommendation,” said Juli Keese, regional manager, Belchim USA. “We are working on getting Spin Aid labeled for an aerial label for this season.” Belchim USA President and General Manager Tom Wood said resistant weeds are probably the #1 problem in sugarbeet production. “The easy button with glyphosate is starting to wane so it is nice to have alternatives,” said Wood. “Spin-Aid controls glyphosate-resistant kochia, lambsquarters and common ragweed.”
