Bayer Emesto Prime is a seed treatment fungicide made specially for potato tubers. This fungicide offers a systemic mode of action that works by disrupting the fungal respiratory process, preventing energy production and ultimately killing the fungal pathogens at early stages. The Bayer Emesto Prime fungicide offers strong resistance management with targeted action, making it a highly effective fungal disease controller.
Key Features and Benefits of Emesto Prime Fungicide:
Targeted Protection: Bayer Emesto Prime helps protect potatoes from black scurf, ensuring strong protection.
Seed Treatment: Emesto Prime fungicide is applied as a seed treatment, giving early protection when young sprouts are most sensitive.
Resistance Management: Bayer Emesto Prime has a unique mode of action, making it tough for the pathogens to develop resistance.
Better Yield Appearance: Bayer Emesto Prime helps reduce black marks and rough skin appearance linked with black scurf, increasing profits.
Emesto Prime Uses:
Black Scurf: Rhizoctonia solani infection, black scurf marks on potato tubers, poor tuber skin finish.
Seed-Borne Fungal Problems: Fungal infection carried on seed tubers before planting.
Soil-Borne Disease Risk: Early fungal pressure around planted tubers and developing sprouts.
Crop Establishment Problems: Weak sprouting, uneven emergence, and reduced early plant strength due to black scurf pressure.
Bayer Emesto Prime Dose:
Use as potato tuber seed treatment before planting. Emesto Prime Dose Per Litre should not be understood as a normal foliar spray dose because this product is mainly used for tuber treatment. For practical use, apply Emesto Prime fungicide at 100 ml for 964 kg of potato tubers, using enough clean water to coat the tubers evenly before planting.
Crop | Target Disease | Dose per acre | Application Method | PHI |
Potato | Black scurf | 100 ml for 964 kg potato tubers | Seed/tuber treatment before planting | Not applicable for pre-planting seed treatment |
Potato | Rhizoctonia solani infection | 100 ml for 964 kg potato tubers | Uniform tuber coating before sowing | Not applicable for pre-planting seed treatment |
How to Use Bayer Emesto Prime:
Measure the required quantity of Bayer Emesto Prime as per the quantity of potato tubers.
Use 100 ml of Emesto Prime fungicide for 964 kg of potato tubers.
Take clean water in a tuber treatment drum, sprayer, or suitable mixing container.
Add Bayer Emesto Prime into the water and mix well to make a uniform treatment solution.
Spread the potato tubers on a clean surface or use a proper seed treatment machine.
Apply Emesto Prime evenly on all tubers so the surface gets proper coverage.
Allow treated tubers to dry in shade before planting.
Do not plant wet, dripping tubers immediately after using Bayer Emesto Prime.
Avoid treating damaged, rotten, or badly cut potato tubers.
Plant treated tubers in prepared soil as soon as they are ready for sowing.
Best Time to Apply:
Apply Bayer Emesto Prime before planting potato tubers in the field. Treat the tubers after sorting and before sowing, when tubers are clean and suitable for planting. Emesto Prime fungicide should be used in shade, and treated tubers should be dried properly before planting. Avoid treatment during rain, direct harsh sunlight, or when tubers are wet with mud.
Frequency of Application and Re-entry Period:
Frequency of Application: One proper seed treatment with Bayer Emesto Prime before planting is generally sufficient for the potato crop.
Re-Entry Period: Since Emesto Prime fungicide is used as tuber treatment before planting, avoid direct handling of treated tubers without gloves. After field planting, follow normal safe farm entry practices.
Compatibility: Do not mix Bayer Emesto Prime blindly with other seed treatment chemicals, fertilizers, or liquid pesticides. Use only recommended combinations after checking compatibility.
Application Care: Emesto Prime fungicide should be applied evenly on tubers, as patchy treatment may reduce disease protection.
Resistance Care: Avoid relying on the same SDHI fungicide group repeatedly without proper disease management rotation.
Safety Precautions and Handling:
Read the Bayer Emesto Prime label carefully before use.
Wear gloves, mask, long sleeves, goggles, and protective shoes while treating potato tubers.
Do not eat, drink, or smoke while handling Emesto Prime fungicide.
Avoid direct contact of Bayer Emesto Prime with skin, eyes, and mouth.
