New Syngenta Blight Hub answers agronomy questions

The new Syngenta Blight Hub provides the latest information and advice to manage potato late blight this season, all in one quick and easy to access source.

Including the most up to date position on UK fungicide blight resistance results, the site gives advice and practical guidance to help growers to minimise potential issues. 

That includes how to create a season long blight strategy, utilising all the available modes of action effectively and efficiently.

Agronomists and potato industry experts all agree the most effective CAA fungicide, mandipropamid, has a key role for effective blight control throughout the season. The Syngenta Blight Hub is designed to ensure its value can be best protected for the future.

The Hub gives access to download Syngenta BlightCast in the MyField App, giving invaluable risk forecasts of local bight pressure on a field-by-field basis. It’s the only system that allows growers and agronomists to set their own risk factor parameters for reporting Hutton near-miss events.

Get the Top Tips for blight control, along with the answers to all those frequently asked questions - including resistance management, application advice and the use of drift retardants to maximise fungicide performance.

View this season’s Technical Updates on Syngenta blight fungicide products, including new Evagio Forte combining mandipropamid with built-in resistance management of amisulbrom.
