A Game Changer

Miravis Prime is Syngenta’s newest fungicide. Syngenta Agronomic Service Representative Jeff Hopp says this product is a game-changer for disease management in potatoes. “We see the really good plant health attributes that Miravis Prime will deliver,” said Hopp. “A lot of times if you open up that canopy when you apply after row closure you’ll see a delay in the senescence or the aging of the crop. The lower leaves will still have fewer incidents of disease; they’re going to hold their chlorophyll longer which translates to bulking up later into the season to optimize yield.”
