Emesto Quantum

Comprehensive protection for potatoes from the start

Emesto Quantum by Bayer is not just a seed treatment; it is a strategy for preserving yield at the most vulnerable stage of crop development. Agronomists choose this product when the goal is to resolve soil-borne pests and disease issues in a single pass. Its systemic action protects the tuber and developing foliage from a range of threats, eliminating the need for early-season rescue treatments.

Field Application Scenarios

• Soil-borne disease control: The product is essential in fields with high pressure from Rhizoctonia and common scab. Penflufen, the active ingredient, blocks fungal growth, which is critical for achieving uniform emergence and high-quality tubers.
• Pest management: Clothianidin (a neonicotinoid) creates a robust barrier against wireworms and click beetles. Additionally, the product effectively suppresses early populations of Colorado potato beetle and aphids, reducing viral pressure on young plants.

Practical Application Insights

The product's liquid suspension concentrate formulation ensures excellent adhesion to the tuber surface. With a dosage rate of less than 0.5 L/t, it provides optimal coverage without oversaturating the seed material. A single application at planting provides long-lasting protection through flowering and canopy closure. This is an ideal solution for farms looking to minimize in-season spraying and safeguard the integrity of the potato root system under high-pressure conditions.
