Tirana

Reliable potato protection from the start

When you head out to the fields in spring, the main goal is to lay the foundation for a good harvest so you aren't stuck spraying the crops every week. With 'Tirana' by Agricopter Asia Limited, the approach is simple: treat your seed potatoes once and forget about most problems until harvest time.

Real-world application experience

For me, as a grower, systemic action is critical. This seed treatment doesn't just coat the tuber; it penetrates the plant, creating a protective 'shield' around the young sprout. The combination of thiabendazole, acetamiprid, and imidacloprid works effectively: while one component targets soil pests like wireworms, the others suppress pathogens responsible for rhizoctonia and potato scab.

Technical details and usage

• The product comes as an emulsion that sticks perfectly to tubers without flaking off once dry.
• A dosage of 15–20 ml is realistic and helps keep the overall cost of crop protection efficient.
• A key point: being a Class 3 hazardous substance, it requires standard safety precautions, but it is comfortable to work with—it lacks the sharp chemical odor that often clings to field gear.

A single application is enough. Because it is a systemic product, it translocates effectively throughout the growing plant. You get uniform emergence, plants free from aphids and leafhoppers, and a stronger root system because soil pests aren't attacking it. It’s one of those cases where a single initial investment saves your budget for the entire season.
