Sugar beet varieties tolerant to ALS-inhibiting herbicides: A novel tool in weed management

The main aim of the present study was to evaluate benefits of the new technology of sugar beet varieties tolerant to foramsulfuron (FSN) + thiencarbazone-methyl (TCM) herbicides commercialised as Conviso® Smart (four weed management strategies were tested) compared to conventional herbicides (two weed management strategies). Plot-field trials were carried out in Prague (Czech Republic) in 2016–2019. Efficacy on Chenopodium album L., Amaranthus retroflexus L., Echinochloa crus-galli (L.) P. B., Abutilon theophrasti Med. and weed beet were evaluated.
