Abstract

Between 2006 and 2011 over 30 experiments were carried out with Variable Rate application of potato haulm killing herbicides and contact fungicides. Two systems were used to site-specifically dose on the basis of variation in crop biomass. The study shows that use of these pesticides can be reduced using variable rate application technology with 25–50% compared to standard practice, while efficacy remains good. In the case of potato haulm killing, % dead plant tissue and harvestability were measured, in the case of fungicides disease development was recorded. The need for standardisation and further R&D on development of dosing algorithms is discussed for different classes of pesticides.
