Fungicides for Potatoes

Important and primary agronomic practice that increases potato yield — pre-planting spraying of tubers with fungicides against root rots and other common fungal diseases. This method of protecting tubers and sprouts from soil fungal infections is considered safe and effective, reducing the number of treatments later.

Syngenta® has developed and offers effective solutions to reduce potato yield losses — contact-systemic fungicides MAXIM®, QUADRIS®, BRAVO®, REVUS®. These preparations can be applied not only during crop vegetation but also as protective-preventive fungicides for treating potatoes prior to planting. Seed tubers must be of high quality, free from visible signs of fungal infection.

QUADRIS® fungicide with broad spectrum of action

Systemic-contact universal fungicide for professional use (2 hazard class) produced in the form of concentrate suspension. Its composition includes the active ingredient azoxystrobin (250 g/l). Intended for control of main and secondary potato diseases, other open-field or greenhouse vegetable crops. Supplied in 1 L containers. To prepare the working solution for treating potato tubers, dilute with water in a ratio of 1:30 to 1:50.

QUADRIS® fungicide provides prolonged (up to 4 weeks) protection of potatoes during early vegetation against gray rot, late blight, silver scurf, rhizoctonia, and other fungal infections. Suppresses pathogens present on tuber surfaces and in soil. As a result, crop yield increases, product quality and storability improve.

The active ingredient of the contact fungicide MAXIM® is fludioxonil (3 hazard class). The preparation is supplied in the form of concentrate suspension (25 g/l) in 5 L containers. The working solution is prepared before application at a rate of 2 L of the preparation per 100 L of water. Potato tubers are treated before planting or before storage.

Effective REVUS® fungicide

Professional translaminar fungicide REVUS® is intended for protection of potatoes and other vegetable crops from dangerous fungal diseases, especially late blight and alternaria. Also effective against powdery mildew, rhizoctonia, fusarium. Applied for treating tubers prior to planting, as well as above-ground parts of plants during active vegetation phase. The preparation provides prolonged protection of the crop from main and secondary diseases. Treated tubers germinate well, emerge uniformly. The plant develops rapidly.

The active ingredient of the systemic fungicide REVUS® is mandipropamide (3 hazard class). The agrochemical is supplied in the form of concentrate suspension (250 g/l) in 5 L containers. Before application, prepare the working solution at a rate of 30 mL of preparation per 10 L of water.

Syngenta Quality Standards

Syngenta® products are considered the benchmark quality on the Russian market of plant protection products. This applies to all produced groups of agrochemicals, including fungicides. At all production stages, key physicochemical properties of components are controlled in accordance with the company’s internal quality standards. These standards are not less stringent, and often exceed national ones, including Russian.

Fake products imitating original Syngenta® plant protection products are present in the agrochemical market. The company has developed effective methods to combat counterfeit spread, for example, using special packaging with multi-level protection. To fully protect yourself from counterfeit products and save your resources, you must purchase agrochemicals only from official Syngenta® distributors.
