Crop protection in potato production: a balancing act
Crop protection is an essential part of potato production to protect the crop from pests and diseases. Traditionally, chemical crop protection products have been used to control weeds and pests, but more and more growers are turning to integrated crop protection solutions that are environmentally friendly and sustainable.
Electric desiccation is an excellent example of how modern crop protection works without the use of chemicals. The targeted use of electricity effectively kills potato weeds while protecting the tubers and improving soil quality. This method helps to reduce the use of chemicals while protecting the crop.
