See label in the downloads section of this page for full rate, timing, and application information.
Spring application: apply ETHO SC before or at planning time. Incorporate into the soil to a depth of 2.5 to 5.0 cm. Deeper incorporation may reduce effectiveness.
Fall layering application: use this method only when spring moisture is marginal or where irrigation water is not available at planting time.
Prepare the field as for planting in the fall before the ground freezes. Apply ETHO SC in a band on the soil surface at the recommended rate. Be sure that the soil surface is free from trash and vegetation.
Cover the treated bands with soil and form beds or ridges. In the spring when the soil is sufficiently dry to be worked, deridge the beds down to within 1.0 to 2.5 cm of the treated layer. Plant sugar beets in the deridged area when the soil conditions allow.
