INTRODUCED as a likely successor to potato
fungicide seed treatment Monceren (pencycuron), new active penflufen from
Bayer CropScience, could be available to growers in 2012.
According to Bayer’s product manager for potato herbicides and fungicides, Neil Thompson, penflufen is from the carboxamides range of chemicals and is highly active against rhizoctonia.
Also, unlike Monceren(
pencycuron), penflufen has activity against silver scurf, said
Mr Thompson.
The new active has been submitted to the UK approvals system and Mr Thompson says Bayer is confident of approval for use in 2012.
Syngenta’s fludioxonil potato seed treatment could also be available in the near future.
Fludioxonil is a broad-spectrum seed treatment primarily for control of rhizoctonia, but it also has activity against dry rot, skin spot and some activity against seed-borne black dot.
Fludioxonil will also have a useful effect on common scab, said Syngenta’s field technical manager Jon Ogborn.
