Prestige 290 FS, 1 litre

Prestige 290 FS is an insect-fungicide used to treat potato tubers for the control of Colorado beetles, aphids, and rhizoconiosis.

Treated plants: Potato

Mode of action: Prestige has systemic action and at the same time contact with harmful organisms. Imidacloprid, the insecticidal active component, forms around the tubers a protective halo through which the contact action on the insects in the soil is manifested. Subsequently, imidacloprid systemically enters the tubers and is therefore distributed acropetally to the aerial parts of plants, acting on the pests during the vegetation period. Pencicuron, the fungicide component, has contacting action, preventing rhinocytosis infections that may have as a source of the infectious seed used in planting, or plant debris incorporated into the soil.

How to use: The treatment is carried out through a plant located on the planting machine, which sprays the product in a dose of 0.8 l / t (mixed with about 45 l of water) directly on the tubers, simultaneously with their planting. No other application methods are recommended, due to the inaccuracies of product dosing and uneven distribution. The effectiveness of the product can be maximized only in the conditions of good culture technology. Prestige will not be used on a seed of poor or infected form with various pathogenic fungi (Fusarium, Erwinia) and crops placed on cold soils with excess moisture or too deeply sown.

Prestige has remarkable efficacy on Colorado beetle and aphid. He can combat these pests in a proportion of 99-100%, even 75-80 days after the crop rises. Because of its effectiveness against aphids, viral transmission vectors, Prestige indirectly contributes to significantly reducing the severity of these extremely serious diseases, especially for seed crops. Prestige is also effective against wireworms, but in this case, the protection period of the crop is approx. 4 weeks, so only tubers used for planting are protected.
