Emesto® Prime
Emesto Prime In-Furrow Fungicide is a new product that offers outstanding efficacy against black scurf (Rhizoctonia solani) to ensure top results - the perfect product for New Zealand potato farmers.
Emesto Prime will help to maximise profits for potato growers as it delivers better quality potatoes. Emesto Prime is a Group 7 fungicide and offers growers a new mode of action for the control of rhizoctonia infections which cause stem and stolon canker and black scurf of tubers. This alternative mode of action can be rotated with existing fungicide groups to decrease resistant disease population selection pressure on currently registered fungicides.
Emesto Prime In-furrow Fungicide is equivalent to the current industry standard in all aspects of rhizoctonia control.
