SSS is a proven technology in chemical enhancement. This special non-ionic surfactant sticker was designed to evenly spread and synergistically work with other chemicals. Although SSS is highly effective at chemical label rates, it has proven equally effective with reduced rates of fungicide. Replacing a portion of growers’ high-cost chemicals with SSS can provide substantial cost savings while making an operation more effective and environmentally responsible.

Ariston
(800) 295-0733
www.sipcamadvan.com
When battling late blight, potato growers count on an early-season application of Ariston to destroy the existing undetected infection within the plant while simultaneously preventing the spread of spores. Ariston combines chlorothalonil’s unique resistance management benefits with cymoxanil’s excellent preventative/curative activity, resulting in full-season, multi-level protection. The multi-level protection begins with Ariston’s natural affinity to stick to plant surfaces and extends to its ability to penetrate leaves to fight late Blight from within. Superior sporulation control reduces future cycles of the disease.
Ariston is a product of SipcamAdvan and manufactured for and distributed by Tenkoz, Inc.

Fosphite is a reduced-risk fungicide for use on potatoes. Fosphite’s active ingredient is phosphorus acid, which is toxic to tovarious fungi like phytophthora, pythium and downey mildew. When used in accordance with the label, Fosphite can offer superior protection against these diseases while remaining safe to applicators and the environment.
Benefits also include excellent control of pink rot and late blight. Fosphite’s low application rate translates into lower cost, it’s registered as a “Reduced Risk Pesticide” by the EPA yet is very efficient in killing fungi and non-phytotoxic. It also works as a foliar- and soil-applied fungicide.
Additional benefits include the ability of phosphate ions to help promote proactive immune systems in potato plants. Fosphite kills the disease on contact and helps boost the plant’s natural defenses against further infection. Do not use Fosphite in conjunction with copper products.
