“Of course the conditions for application were not ideal, it was very hot. We had some rain here in the first week of August, which kept the Agria potatoes green and growing. On August 11th we sprayed with Royal MH. We had seen that the smallest tubers were then big enough, about 35 to 40 mm. There was also some continued growth due to the heat stress.”

“The potatoes were basically treated with Royal MH and then stored with Argos. The potatoes are good. They are rock hard, the peel quality is good and the germ is not there yet. Argos has no residue and no waiting time, important advantages of this sprout inhibitor.”
