New for 2026: New Solutions for Potato Protection

In the 2026 season, potato growers can benefit from new and improved solutions for protecting their crops. The choice of spray treatment should always take into account the current product label, registration scope, plant growth stage, weather conditions, and the principles of integrated pest management.

What’s New in Potato Protection?

Modern crop protection programs increasingly combine products with different modes of action, biological agents, and solutions that support plant health. This makes it possible to reduce the risk of pathogen resistance more effectively and better adapt treatments to the actual threat.

Protection Against Potato Blight

In the case of potato blight, monitoring threat alerts and carrying out preventive treatments in accordance with the product label are essential. It is advisable to rotate active substances and avoid repeatedly using products with the same mode of action.

Weed and Pest Control

For herbicide protection and pest reduction, solutions should be selected according to the species present on a specific plantation. The timing of treatment is particularly important, as spray effectiveness can decline significantly when applied too late.

Safe Use

Before each treatment, check the current registers and the label of the product approved for use on potatoes. Follow the specified rates, pre-harvest intervals, application conditions, and principles for protecting bees and other beneficial organisms.

A key development of the 2026 season is the growing use of precision plantation monitoring and data-driven crop protection programs. This makes it possible to carry out treatments when they are genuinely needed, reducing costs and environmental impact.

Information on the approval of specific products should always be confirmed in the current product label and official register.
