SESVanderHave has developed its own ALS-inhibitor tolerant varieties, which are marketed under the CONVISO® SMART technology brand. In 2020, our first CONVISO® SMART varieties were registered in Europe.
The CONVISO® SMART system is an innovative alternative for sugar beet weed control.
How does the CONVISO® SMART system work?
In the CONVISO® SMART system, ALS-tolerant sugar beet varieties (CONVISO® SMART varieties) are treated with Bayer's CONVISO® ONE herbicide.
In ALS-tolerant sugar beet, the herbicide cannot bind to the enzyme that intervenes in the production of branched-chain amino acids (valine, leucine and isoleucine).
Thus, ALS-tolerant sugar beets are not susceptible to the herbicide and grow as usual. Weedy or susceptible sugar beet varieties do not have this specific tolerance and die when treated with the herbicide.
What are the benefits of the CONVISO® SMART system for the farmer?
- Reliable efficacy
- Broad weed control spectrum
- Simplification of farm management practices with less applications
