Platinum® Ridomil Gold® is not only an excellent tool to protect potato crops from damaging pests - it is a whole new concept in crop protection. Truly the best of both worlds, Platinum Ridomil Gold premix is the first product available to potato growers that combines an insecticide and fungicide into one blended formulation.

Soil-applied, Platinum Ridomil Gold controls sucking and chewing insect pests, including Colorado potato beetle, potato leafhopper, and several aphid species. It also controls storage and tuber rots of potatoes, including Pythium leak (Pythium spp.) and pink rot (Phytophthora erythroseptica).

Upon application, Platinum Ridomil Gold is rapidly taken up by plant roots and moves systemically throughout the plant, protecting foliage from insect damage and developing tubers against soil-borne diseases. In university and Syngenta trials, Platinum Ridomil Gold has been shown to provide highly effective, consistent protection — in many cases outperforming traditional tankmixes.

Platinum Ridomil Gold is also convenient when compared to soil applications, which must be mixed in the tank. Platinum Ridomil Gold will save growers precious time and money at planting.
