CONVISO^® SMART – the SMART innovation in sugar beet weed control

The CONVISO^® SMART system innovates the way to control weeds in sugar beet. The two components of the system make it possible:

SMART KWS seed: sugar beet hybrids developed by KWS carrying the specific tolerance to the ALS-inhibitor based herbicide CONVISO^® ONE
CONVISO^® ONE: broad- and grass weed herbicide developed by Bayer based on active ingredients from the ALS-inhibitor class

CONVISO^® SMART – watch the SMART way of weed control

SMART Choice

Unique Control

CONVISO^® SMART offers a unique weed control of broadleaf as well as sensitive grass weeds

Higher Productivity

CONVISO^® SMART offers best crop safety and therefore applications more independent from the growth stage and physical condition the beet.

Convincing Convenience

CONVISO^® SMART offers greater flexibility in weed control combined with less applications needed.

SMART Teamwork

SMART KWS seeds and the CONVISO^® ONE herbicide by Bayer are working hand in hand.

SMART breeding

Efficient weed control and the least possible damage to the sugar beet are the driving factors for high sugar beet yields.

Having this in mind KWS and Bayer started over 15 years ago to work together on a foresighted weed control system comprising Acetolactate Synthase (ALS)-lnhibitor tolerant sugar beet varieties and the corresponding herbicide.

Today after many years of intensive research and efforts in breeding as well as herbicide technology with CONVISO^® SMART we provide a professional tool combining unique weed control performance with best crop safety for SMART farmers.
