Reliable potato protection against Rhizoctonia

When growing potatoes, controlling Rhizoctonia is crucial for maintaining the marketability and shelf life of the tubers. The active ingredient, flutolanil, acts systemically, penetrating the plant tissue to provide robust protection during the critical growth stages.

Field Application Insights

Unlike contact-only chemicals, this fungicide works from within. In practice, this means the protection isn't just on the surface but inside the plant. Apply it during planting at a rate of 1.0 to 2.0 liters per ton, which ensures thorough coverage. Since the protocol allows for only one application, precision is key—applying it correctly at the time of planting is essential to maximize its performance.

• Formulation: Suspension concentrate that mixes easily with water and won't clog sprayer nozzles.
• Effectiveness: Successfully suppresses Rhizoctonia development, even under high soil pathogen pressure.
• Safety: Class 3 hazard rating requires standard agricultural handling precautions, which any experienced operator is well-acquainted with.

Because it is a systemic product, its efficacy depends heavily on the quality of the application. If your equipment is well-calibrated and the solution is prepared according to the label, Rhizoctonia stops being a threat to your harvest. It is a predictable, dependable solution that prevents unpleasant surprises during the autumn sorting process.
