Choosing the best fungicideChoose Reason® when both late blight and early blight are a concern. When Reason is started early in the spray program and used in every other application, it provides effective systemic, anti-sporulant disease prevention.

Choose Scala® when only early blight is a concern or when resistance to Group 11 fungicides is identified in the area. Scala is the only Group 9 fungicide for early blight.

Choose Tattoo® C for unmatched late blight control and rotate with Reason for a preventative IPM program.

Choosing the best insecticideChoose TitanTM for superior insect control. Titan provides extended control of aphids, Colorado potato beetle, potato flea beetle and potato leafhopper while also reducing damage from wireworm.

Choose Movento® for the best preventative foliar aphid control. Movento uses a different mode of action so it is an excellent late-season choice. Movento’s two-way systemicity ensures superior aphid control and helps manage the risk of secondary diseases.
