Managing potato quality post-harvest is critical to profitability. Syngenta Post Harvest Manager Tim Madden says there are a number of issues that can arise in stored potatoes. “Syngenta’s developed a number of products over the years that help protect (potatoes from) degradation,” said Madden. “Archive is a mix of fludioxonil with azoxystrobin, a very unique product that it has two methods of protection.” For many years, the potato industry tried to manage humidity and temperature to mitigate potato loss. With the addition of new tools, “we’re able to protect quite a bit more of the product in storage over a longer period of time.”
