Potatoes – Crop Protection

Key Potato Products

Insect and slug control

Biscaya is a systemic insecticide that provides you with control of aphids in potato crops.

Draza forte is the slug pellet that we recommend for all-weather use.

Weed control

Artist is a residual herbicide designed to give you effective pre-emergence control over a wide range of grass and broad-leaved weeds in early and main crop varieties of potatoes including seed potatoes.

Harvest can be used in tank-mix with Artist and provides contact control of all the main broad-leaved and grass-weeds in the potato crop.

Disease control

Consento provides you with control of late blight and protection from early infections of Alternaria during the rapid growth stage of your potato crop. It should be used as part of a programme to treat late blight in sequence with Infinito, which can be applied during the mid to late season to provide robust foliar and tuber protection.

There are two products under the Monceren name: Monceren DS is our market-leading potato tuber treatment for the control of Rhizoctonia solani, while Monceren IM also contains imazalil and offers additional reduction of silver scurf.

Desiccation

As well as providing effective weed control, Harvest will also act as a desiccant for your potato crop.
