A wide-row crop - potatoes - is very sensitive to the degree of weediness in the field. At its high level, the yield is significantly reduced. In addition, weeds contribute to the spread of dangerous fungal diseases. potato herbicides. Timely processing ensures the cleanliness of the land throughout the entire growing season of the crop.
Complex protection of agricultural crops from weeds is provided, as a rule, in 2 passes: with the help of pre-emergence treatment of the field with continuous herbicide URAGAN® FORTE, desiccant REGLON® FORTE and post-emergence - a mixture of selective preparations BOXER® and FUSILAD® FORTE.
Agrochemical URAGAN® FORTE
Effective against all types of weeds. It acts systemically, leading to the destruction of the root and ground parts of the plant. It is applied, as a rule, in the autumn after shoots of weeds (shortly before autumn plowing). It is characterized by good bioavailability, fast action, resistance to precipitation. Quickly decomposes in the environment, does not affect the crop rotation.
URAGAN® FORTE is produced in the form of an aqueous solution. It is bottled in 20-liter plastic canisters. Before spraying, it is diluted in a ratio of 1.5–5.0 liters of the drug per 100–200 liters of water. Combined use with Syngenta agrochemicals in a tank mixture is allowed (according to the regulations).
Broad spectrum drug BOXER®
Pre-emergence, early post-emergence herbicide that suppresses particularly resistant weeds such as black nightshade, bedstraw. It acts through the soil, so it is important to take into account its moisture content. It is characterized by low phytotoxicity in relation to potatoes, the absence of crop rotation restrictions.
Produced in the form of an emulsion concentrate. It is bottled in 10-liter canisters. Diluted at the rate of 3-5 liters per 200-300 liters of water. The prepared solution is sprayed with potatoes on an area of 1 hectare. In the tank mix, they are combined with other Syngenta agrochemicals (observing the regulations).
FUSILAD® FORTE
Systemic herbicide for potatoes of selective action of the 2nd hazard class effectively destroys many types of common annual, perennial weeds. As a rule, it is used in combination with other drugs. It is characterized by low phytotoxicity to the crop, does not accumulate in the soil, does not affect crop rotation.
FUSILAD® FORTE is produced in the form of an emulsion concentrate. Supplied in 10 liter cans. It is diluted at the rate of 1.0–2.0 liters per 200–300 liters of water. This volume is consumed per 1 ha of potato planting. In the tank mix, it is compatible with agrochemicals of TM Syngenta.
Cropwise® Operations Digital Platform
Syngenta has developed an end-to-end digital solution for Cropwise® Operations to help large-scale agricultural producers. With the help of the information platform, remote monitoring of fields with crops is organized. They produce digital records of agronomic work, distribution of resources.
There are various mobile applications (Android, iOS) for organizing telematics, obtaining satellite images, tracking the dynamics of harvesting and other field work, the state of crops (plantations). With the help of a weather service, current data on temperature, humidity, and wind speed are obtained. Predict possible changes. They form a favorable window for agrochemical work.
The quality of Syngenta products, the problem of counterfeiting
