Goifon

Technological profile: A dual strike against potato threats

«Goifon» from «Three Delta Company International» is a combination seed treatment agent based on the synergy of two highly effective active ingredients: pencycuron and imidacloprid. This systemic product is designed to protect potato planting material from a wide spectrum of soil pathogens and pests.

Biochemical composition architecture

• Pencycuron: A fungicidal component that blocks the development of fungal mycelium, specifically the pathogens of Rhizoctonia and common scab. Its action targets the disruption of lipid biosynthesis, making spore germination on the tuber surface impossible.
• Imidacloprid: A neonicotinoid that provides systemic control over insects. It blocks nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the pest's nervous system, leading to paralysis and death of the Colorado potato beetle, aphids, thrips, and leafhoppers.

Why the emulsion form matters

The product is formulated as an emulsion, ensuring optimal adhesion to the tuber surface. Unlike powder forms, the emulsion evenly coats the skin, creating a protective layer. The systemic mode of action means that as the plant germinates, the active ingredients translocate from the tuber into the shoots, providing prolonged protection of seedlings during the critical growth period. Wireworm control is achieved by establishing a toxic barrier in the root zone.

Practical application aspects

«Goifon» is classified as a Class 3 hazard product, requiring standard safety measures when handling agrochemicals. The seed treatment method minimizes the need for subsequent foliar spraying, as the product provides a robust shield at the onset of crop development. Maximum efficacy is achieved by applying the product evenly to clean tubers free from excess soil impurities.
