The same irrigation practices that promote healthy canopy growth to support tuber bulking – and increase yield – cause moist conditions that can lead to serious fungal disease pressures in potatoes.
Growing high-quality potatoes requires ultimate balance and precision. Too much nitrogen late in the growing season reduces crop yields, but not enough early on suppresses tuber growth.
Trial conducted by Miller Research, Idaho Commission. Luna Tranquility® helps reduce Early blight severity by 97% and helped improve yield by 10%, leading to an additional +$543 per cwt./A in profits.1
