Prestige 290

Why Bayer's «Prestige 290» is the go-to solution for crop establishment

In modern vegetable and potato production, the early stages of growth are critical. «Prestige 290» by Bayer is not just a standard pesticide; it is a specialized tool for seed and root treatment that acts as a comprehensive insurance policy for your crop before it even emerges from the soil.

Real-world application scenarios

Commercial growers rely on this product to mitigate risks during the most vulnerable development phases. The primary use cases include:

• Potato protection. Treating seed tubers before planting provides a multi-layered defense. It effectively controls soil-borne pests like wireworms and white grubs, while the fungicidal component suppresses rhizoctonia and common scab. This ensures healthy plant stands with minimal gaps.
• Vegetable seedling vitality. For tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, and cabbage, root dipping is a common practice. This method protects young transplants from early-season threats such as aphids, thrips, leafhoppers, and flea beetles. The systemic protection lasts for several weeks, allowing the plants to establish a strong root system without the stress of pest pressure.

Systemic performance and operational benefits

The systemic action of the active ingredients (Imidacloprid and Pencycuron) ensures they are absorbed and distributed through the plant tissues as it grows. Unlike contact-only treatments, which can be washed off by rain, «Prestige 290» works from within. This minimizes the need for early-stage foliar insecticide sprays, reducing both labor costs and field traffic.

The suspension concentrate formulation is easy to handle, ensuring uniform coverage on seeds or roots without dusting issues. By investing in this Bayer technology, producers secure the foundation of their yield. It prevents crop failure and ensures that every hectare reaches its maximum potential, which is the key to maintaining profitability in competitive vegetable farming.
