Weed control in potatoes

The benefits of effective weed control in potato crops are many, including better use of available nutrients by the crop, resulting in increased yields and profits. It is important to remember that the adoption and implementation of effective, long term, weed control strategies that have an integrated and planned approach and do not rely solely on the use of herbicides to control weeds will give the best crop results.

Syngenta offers growers a range of safe and effective solutions to combat weeds throughout the entire potato crop season.
