Emesto® Prime In-Furrow Fungicide
FungicidesEmesto Prime In‑Furrow Fungicide delivers outstanding efficacy against black scurf (Rhizoctonia solani) to support reliable crop establishment and high‑quality potato production. Emesto Prime helps maximise grower returns by delivering consistently better quality potatoes. Emesto Prime is a Group 7 fungicide and provides growers with an alternative mode of action for the control of rhizoctonia infections that cause stem and stolon canker and black scurf of tubers. This mode of action can be rotated with other fungicide groups to help manage resistance risk. Development trials demonstrate that Emesto Prime In‑Furrow Fungicide applied at 4 mL/100 m row performs equivalently to the current industry standard across all aspects of rhizoctonia control. This rate represents the lowest dose rate available on the market.
