Biostimulant strategies can help potato crops better cope with field stress conditions, as well as routinely enhance tuber numbers and proportion of marketable crop, according to results of plots at Potatoes in Practice Open Day at the James Hutton Institute in Scotland. That enhances the crop growth, as well as aiding tuber initiation and producing more tubers. With the extreme conditions through the 2025 season, multiple applications were made prior to periods of temperature stress post tuber initiation. Exploiting the compounds that help seaweed to cope with those stresses, can help crops like potatoes to enhance resilience against field stress conditions. Further trials across the UK, using all the Syngenta biological products individually or in integrated stress management strategies, will be on display and discussed at the British Potato Event in November.
