Biostimulants for potatoes
Strength against stress with boncrop flow
Potatoes are a valuable yet demanding crop.
boncrop flow supports potato growth in many different ways. It starts with the root growth and even encourages a higher photosynthetic performance and better tolerance to stress.
Your advantages and benefits with boncrop flow
Advantages
|
Benefits |
|---|---|
| I Significantly better root growth | A better approach for higher yields |
| I Combination of better tolerance to stress with higher photosynthetic performance | Improved drought stress tolerance, irrigation management is simplified in times of temporary water scarcity, more starch is generated as a result of the higher photosynthetic performance. |
| I Supports a more powerful metabolism with higher plant vitality | More homogeneous plant growth |
| I More even growth | More homogeneous sorting |
| I More even sorting | More marketable goods |
boncrop flow in exact tests
We use GEP-certified test providers for our exact tests on boncrop flow. In recent years, the use of boncrop flow in potatoes has shown a significant increase in both the individual group yield and total tuber yield.
With boncrop flow, significantly fewer undersized potatoes were present in the crop and a greater total yield was achieved in the Belana variety (a table potato) at the Huntlosen site in 2023. In 2022, the use of boncrop flow clearly increased the total tuber yield by 3% for the Chenoa variety (used for chips and french fries).
Perfect timing and quantity
We recommend using boncrop flow on potatoes
at two different times:
- 2 treatments of 2 l/ha
- The first treatment with boncrop flow should be carried out at the onset of the hook stage, typically shortly before row closure to optimally ensure vitality, photosynthetic performance, and yield formation of the potatoes even when they are subject to stress.
- The second treatment should be carried out between days 7 and 21 (depending on the farm’s plant protection measures)
- An additional treatment is not needed as boncrop flow can be combined with all common plant protection measures.
