10 Protect the perimeter. Your potato crop could be under attack, and you don t even know it. A major underground threat to potato plants, Rhizoctonia can creep in, causing uneven plant emergence and inconsistent tuber sizing resulting in poor quality of the crop. Seed treatments can be effective, but once young roots, stolons and stems grow out of that perimeter of protection, they re totally vulnerable. Unless you treat in-furrow with Elatus fungicide. Because of its two active ingredients, one of which Rhizoctonia has never faced, Elatus provides long-lasting protection from soil borne diseases throughout the mound.
