Shield Pro is the new name for Dow Shield 400
Dow Shield® 400 has been renamed Shield Pro™. There are no changes to the formulation. Shield Pro is the tried and trusted herbicide for control of yield-robbing weeds in sugar beet. Not only is it the go-to solution for thistles and volunteer potatoes, it will also boost the activity of your tank mixture, giving wider control of other broad-leaved weeds in sugar beet.

Introducing BlueN, a nutrient efficiency biostimulant
We have launched BlueN™, a novel nutrient efficiency biostimulant for use in a broad range of crops. BlueN contains Methylobacterium symbioticum, a bacteria found in nature that fixes nitrogen from the air and converts it to a usable form of nitrogen for the plant. BlueN provides a sustainable, additional source of nitrogen for the plant ensuring the plant has access to nitrogen all season long.
