    Emesto Silver

    Emesto® Silver fungicide seed-piece treatment provides exceptional disease protection. The unmistakable red formula of Emesto Silver coats your potato seed-pieces and protects your crop against fusarium tuber rot, seedborne rhizoctonia, and silver scurf. With two modes of action against fusarium, it even safeguards against current resistant strains.

      Silver scurf
      		Seed-piece treatment
      		20 mL/100 kg seed (9.1 mL/cwt)
      		For optimal disease and insect control, good uniform coverage of the seed-piece is required
      Seed pieces should be treated immediately after cutting.
      Apply specified dosage as a diluted spray using equipment that ensures uniform coverage of each seed piece. Apply no more than 150 mL of slurry/100 kg of seed pieces (68 mL/cwt seed). Agitate or stir the slurry solution as needed.
      Best control of soil-borne and seed-borne Rhizoctonia solani is obtained if the seed piece treatment with Emesto Silver is followed by an in-furrow treatment with Velum® Rise fungicide/nematicide at registered rates.

    title-additional-guidelines

      Where possible, rotate the use of Emesto Silver or other products containing a Group 3 or 7 fungicide with different groups that control the same pathogens.
      Use tank mixtures with fungicides from a different group when such use is permitted.
      Fungicide use should be based on an IPM program that includes scouting, historical information related to pesticide use and crop rotation and considers cultural, biological and other chemical control practices.
