MAXIMO

Dual-Action Defense for Potato Crops

"Maximo" by Sharda Worldwide Exports Pvt Ltd is a specialized fungicide designed to tackle the most persistent threats in potato cultivation: late blight (Phytophthora) and early blight (Alternaria). By leveraging a synergistic blend of systemic and contact active ingredients, it provides a robust shield that guards the foliage both from external spores and internal fungal development.

Key Advantages of the Maximo Formulation

• Combined Mechanisms: The inclusion of Mancozeb provides a protective contact layer, while Metalaxyl offers systemic action, translocating within the plant to stop existing mycelial growth from the inside.
• Targeted Protection: Specifically formulated for potato crops, it is highly effective during periods of high humidity when fungal diseases spread rapidly.
• Reliability: As a wettable powder, the formulation is stable, easy to mix, and provides consistent coverage across the treated area, which is vital for effective disease prevention.

Operational Insights for Growers

To maximize the efficacy of Maximo, it is recommended to apply it at a rate of 2–2.5 kg per hectare. The strategy relies on limiting the disease pressure through a maximum of 3 applications per season, with a strict 14-day pre-harvest interval (PHI). This makes the product an excellent choice for mid-season protection, ensuring the crop remains healthy until the final stages of maturation.

Why Choose Maximo? It stands out for its straightforward, effective approach to disease management in intensive potato production. While it requires adherence to the 3rd hazard class safety protocols and a disciplined spray schedule, it provides the reliability needed for professional-grade yield protection. It is an optimal solution for producers who require a proven, cost-effective method to secure their harvest against devastating fungal outbreaks.
