'Allstar: soft on the tuber but hard on rhizoctonia'

Users of the rhizoctonia drug all star are enthusiastic about the pleasant handling properties. And in tests, Allstar repeatedly gives more tubers and kilos in the negotiable size.

"Perhaps the most important thing is that we don't get any complaints. We have satisfied users. And that number is still growing." BASF technical product advisor Bert Westhoff has seen appreciation for Allstar broaden in recent years. "Shortly after the introduction, users were especially enthusiastic about the low dosage and the good mixability. But the growers have now also discovered that Allstar does an excellent job on rhizoctonia and is gentle on the tuber at the same time. You simply have less growth inhibition and fewer mistakes", explains Westhoff. "You get a more even position. Ultimately, these properties result in more tubers and kilos in the marketable sizes."

Proven Efficiency
To increase the efficiency of all star BASF has been conducting trials for years now. "The results of those tests are consistently the same," says Westhoff. "On rhizoctonia-sensitive soils, Allstar quickly gives an additional yield of €1.000 per hectare compared to the market reference. This is the result of more kilos in the right sizes due to the soft formulation and the lower rhizoctonia index. Then we don't have the lower sorting costs yet. included. Allstar in de veur gives a real proven return."

Now also tuber treatment with Allstar
As of 2022, all star also an authorization for a tuber treatment with 0,2 liters per ton. BASF expects interest in this from starch cultivation and consumption crops. Allstar can contribute to a better peel quality in table varieties and also has a good side effect on silver scurf. Please refer to the label for more details.
