Bert (left) and Leo Schelling have been successfully using Proradix Agro as a pesticide for several years in order to maintain standards and to attain as good a skin quality as possible. The use of this biological fungicide results in fine tubers and also brings further positive advantages. They report enthusiastically about the results of using Proradix: “If we supply tubers with a high-quality skin, we don’t receive a bonus or anything. However, if the skin quality is not up to standard, we cannot supply them as food potatoes”.

In 2008 Sourcon Padena carried out the first positive tests against the pathogen causing bacterial soft rot (Erwinia carotovora).

The Erwinia bacteria generally survive in infected tubers showing no symptoms and migrate with the sap flow to young shoots and newly formed daughter tubers. A further significant form of distribution is the movement of infection from tuber to tuber via transport over the ground water.

On the basis of the results obtained, it can be assumed that treatment with Proradix can protect adjacent tubers from infection with Erwinia and that the pathogenic potency of infected tubers will be reduced.

Comparable results to copper treatment can now be attained with Proradix (60 g/ha) – this has been proved by investigations carried out by Agro Nord in the years 2008 and 2009. Due to an optimised method of production, we have now managed to extend the action of our plant protection compound, Proradix.

Now Proradix is also tested on a organic farm under EPPO-guidelines.

This year Agro Nord realised in North Germany a field trial in Dahlwitz (on an organic farm). The results confirm the positive effects of a tuber treatment with Proradix concerning the reduction of Rhizoctonia and an increase in marketable goods.
