Potatoes
Potatoes are the most widely grown and important vegetable crop in New Zealand. Bayer has a broad portfolio of products that control the key pests and diseases of potatoes. The Bayer insecticides, Movento 150OD and Oberon are innovative products for controlling the key pests in potatoes including the highly destructive, tomato/potato pysllid. Controlling weed competition is also critical to maximise yields in potato crops. Bayer’s herbicide Artist is a very useful pre emergent solution for growers. Emesto Prime In-Furrow Fungicide offers outstanding efficacy against black scurf, while Xivana Prime provides outstanding control of late blight.
