Linxs-Pro WG

Professional potato protection: using Lynx-Pro WG

Managing late blight and early blight in potatoes requires a reliable fungicide. In my field experience, Lynx-Pro WG stands out because it combines systemic and contact actions. This duality is essential: the contact component acts as a shield on the leaf surface, while the systemic part penetrates the tissues to stop internal development of the pathogen.

Field Application and Handling

The product comes as water-dispersible granules, which is a major advantage for tank mixing. They dissolve quickly without leaving residue, which keeps the sprayer nozzles clean and avoids unnecessary maintenance downtime. With an application rate of 2–2.5 kg/ha, it provides excellent coverage. I find that this range is sufficient even during high-pressure periods if the timing is correct.

Guidelines and Safety

With a hazard class 3 rating, it requires standard safety precautions, which is typical for modern plant protection products. The most important rule I follow is the 14-day pre-harvest interval to ensure the crop meets safety standards. You are allowed a maximum of 3 applications per season, which is perfectly balanced to cover the critical growth stages of the potato crop.

Why this formulation works

The combination of Cymoxanil, Propineb, and other carbamates makes it a robust solution against aggressive fungal strains. The systemic action ensures that new growth is also protected, while the contact component provides immediate knock-down activity. For anyone managing a farm, this translates to less stress and fewer «surprises» when scouting the fields. It is a predictable and stable tool for professional crop management.
