Disease management in potatoes

Australian potato crops are susceptible to a variety of diseases that can significantly impact on yield and quality. To prevent and minimise losses, intervention is often necessary and growers need to be equipped with the latest knowledge and techniques.

Syngenta provides growers with a number of effective solutions to help manage diseases in-furrow and during storage.  Between Amistar and Ridomil Gold, Syngenta has got your crop covered when it comes to disease protection.
