Potato production in our country is becoming more and more intensive. High yields are not uncommon, but diseases and pests can adversely affect product quality. Modern plant protection products are one of the methods to cope with this problem.
Rhizoctonia causes many problems in growing potatoes. The causative agent of rhizoctoniosis is a soil fungus Rhizoctonia solani JG Kuhn - distributed everywhere, in all types of soils.
On potatoes, the pathogen is harmful from the very start: it infects sprouts, reducing the number of productive stems. With early damage, rhizoctoniosis causes various types of deformation and damage to tubers (they can manifest themselves as cracking, mesh on the surface of the tuber, “pitted” shape, deep ulcers).
VIBRANCE® TOP is a new generation treater, thanks to a well-chosen combination of components, it allows you to program the harvest and get potatoes of excellent quality even in adverse weather conditions. As part of the drug, a new fungicide - sedaxan, is the world's first SDHI molecule developed by Syngenta only for seed protection. Active substances of the SDHI class (succinate dehydrogenase inhibitors) inhibit respiration in the pathogen cell. Sedaxan is resistant to leaching regardless of the type of soil, and at the same time mobile enough to redistribute in the soil and move through the seedlings, which allows for the protection of seedlings.
In addition, sedaxan in the composition of VIBRANCE® TOP stimulates the growth of the root system, ensuring its occurrence over the entire surface of the ridge, and at the same time prevents damage by soil pathogens. The improved solubility and stability of sedaxan more reliably protects the plant without adversely affecting the beneficial microorganisms of the rhizosphere.
In addition to sedaxan, the preparation contains fludioxonil, therefore, due to the combination of two fungicides of local-systemic and contact action, VIBRANCE® TOP is highly effective in controlling rhizoctoniosis, silver scab and other diseases.
VIBRANCE® TOP is registered with a wide range of dosages - 0,4-0,7 l / t. To choose the right dosage of the drug, you need to take into account the quality of the seed material, the "purity" of the soil and the weather conditions during planting. Higher dosages can increase the duration of the drug and increase the chances of plants to overcome difficult conditions without loss of productivity.
Table 1. Selection of the dose of VIBRANCE® TOP depending on planting conditions and seed quality
VIBRANCE® TOP is:
- Long-term protection against soil and ground pests (up to 60 days) due to insecticide dosage equal to or higher than the standard
- Reliable protection against a wide range of pathogens due to the combination of two fungicides in the formulation
- Developed root system in plants: this is facilitated by the features of the sedaxan molecule
- Convenience of application, as a wide range of dosages allows you to choose the level of protection required for a particular field
Thanks to the combination of these parameters, VIBRANCE® TOP provides a high and high-quality harvest in any conditions.
