Aim® EC on Potatoes
Get the advantage of quick, complete potato vine desiccation with Aim® EC.
Soil and climate conditions can impact potato quality during harvest and handling. Timely vine desiccation improves tuber appearance and size, improves tuber release from the vine, pre-disposes the tuber for better storage, and reduces tuber skinning and susceptibility to shatter.. But you don’t need difficult to handle treatments for effective potato vine desiccation. Aim® EC herbicide is now approved alone or in tank mix with other registered products (see label) as a harvest aid for potato desiccation.
Aim EC is easily to handle and its mode of action allows more time for nutrients to move into the tuber, and for the tuber to release from the vine. This helps to provide better and more uniform tuber size at harvest, reduces stem end browning, which can occur if vines are killed too quickly and improves the skin set which helps tubers resist scuffing damage at harvest and helps prevent disease and shrinking in storage. Consider these additional advantages:
- Easy to handle
- Less regrowth
- Better vine kill
- Fast acting
- Effective late-season control of Eastern Black Nightshade
