TIME TO FINALIZE WHAT GOES ON THE SEED
AND IN THE SOIL
|
| |
|
Field establishment is critical to growing a great crop of potatoes. There are two ways establishment can be hindered – pests that come in on the seed or ones waiting in the soil. There are also two critical opportunities to manage early season pathogens – on the seed and in the furrow. Cruiser Maxx® Potato Extreme or Vibrance® Ultra Potato are effective tools to control seed-borne disease. In the soil, both Elatus® and Orondis® Gold Potato target pesky soil-borne disease issues.

What is Elatus® fungicide?
|
| |
Elatus® fungicide applied at planting brings two modes of action against yield-robbing soil-borne diseases and improves tuber and skin quality.
In a 2019 grower trial on Prince Edward Island, Elatus® fungicide improved both quality and marketable yield compared to a commercial standard treatment. Elatus® performed in tough conditions including in fields with high Rhizoctonia pressure and in highly susceptible varieties.

What can we do about storage rots in 2023?
|
| |
|
An increasing number of growers have started using Orondis Gold Potato to protect their storages from pink rot and Pythium leak. Why? Orondis Gold Potato applied at the common rate of 40 ac/case has proven to be the only product available with consistent activity against both rot and leak. With an in-furrow application, protection is provided right at the start, especially in those notoriously susceptible varieties.
