As Selektiv

Comprehensive potato protection: Why AS Selective stands out

In modern agriculture, protecting potato crops requires more than just a single-action agent; it requires a systemic approach. Produced by the 'Factory of Agrochemicals' (Cherkasy, Ukraine), 'AS Selective' integrates both insecticidal and fungicidal properties into one formula. This shift is a game-changer for farm logistics: instead of two separate field operations, you receive complete protection during the planting stage.

The synergy of active ingredients

The preparation is based on a blend of neonicotinoids (acetamiprid and thiamethoxam) and phenylpyrroles (fludioxonil). Unlike mono-protectants, this combination provides:

• Double impact on soil pests: Wireworms and larvae receive a systemic dose that blocks their nervous activity before they can damage the tuber.
• Defense against hidden threats: As a contact fungicide, fludioxonil creates a barrier that halts the progression of rhizoctonia, fusarium, and common scab.

Who is this solution for?

This seed dresser is optimal for farms looking to reduce field passes. Its systemic action protects the growing plant from aphids, thrips, and the Colorado potato beetle during early development. This is crucial in regions with high potato moth pressure, where traditional methods often falter.

Strengths and considerations

The main advantage is high concentration and efficiency at a dosage rate of 0.5 to 1.0 L/t. The suspension concentrate form ensures even coating of the tuber without dusting. However, it is important to remember: as a systemic agent, it requires precise equipment calibration for uniform application. With a maximum limit of one application, strictly following the instructions at the planting stage is the key to success.
