The latest Euroblight fungicide comparison from Euroblight has handed the highest overall rating to the fluopicolide-based fungicide Infinito.

Infinito received the highest rating of ‘very good effect’ for leaf blight effectiveness, tuber blight effectiveness and protectant activity. It also scored ratings of ‘good’ to ‘very good’ for its antisporulant activity and rainfastness.

Infinito’s UK product manager, Neil Thompson, suggested that growers use the higher rate of 1.6 l/ha with a short spray interval, in view of the high blight pressure being experience in potatoes this year.

The latest Euroblight comparison table, which came out of the Bologna blight workshop in May this year, can be viewed at www.euroblight.net.
