Comprehensive Potato Protection: Kickstarting the Season with «DePatata k.s.»

For any potato grower, the foundation of a successful harvest is built at the time of planting. «DePatata k.s.» by AgriCopter Asia Limited is a potent tool for pre-planting tuber treatment, combining both fungicidal and insecticidal properties. Using this product allows farmers to solve two critical tasks simultaneously: disinfecting the planting material and protecting emerging sprouts from early-season soil pests.

Spectrum of Action: Controlling Pathogens and Insects

The synergy of active ingredients (Thiabendazole, Acetamiprid, Imidacloprid, Fludioxonil, Benzimidazoles) helps to suppress a wide range of diseases, including:

• Rhizoctonia (black scurf), which often attacks sprouts before they break the soil surface.
• Fusarium dry rot, a common threat to both storage and planting material.
• Common scab, which significantly degrades the marketability of the tubers.

The insecticidal component, featuring neonicotinoids, creates a protective barrier around the tuber. This serves as reliable insurance against wireworms, which can cause irreparable damage to the root system, as well as providing control over Colorado potato beetles, aphids, and leafhoppers during the early vegetation stages. The systemic action ensures that the active components are evenly distributed throughout the plant as it grows.

Practical Field Application

«DePatata k.s.» is formulated as a suspension concentrate, which simplifies the preparation of the working solution and ensures uniform coverage of the tuber surface. The application rate ranges from 10–20 ml, and a single treatment before planting is sufficient to establish a durable defense. The product falls under hazard class 3, requiring standard precautions when handling agrochemicals.

Using this product is ideal for farms focused on producing high-quality ware potatoes. By minimizing pest damage and fungal infections in the early stages, plants can develop their vegetative mass faster, ultimately setting the stage for a higher yield potential.
