Disease and pest control management is one of the most important factors of high-yield and high-quality sweet potato cultivation. It is believed that many farmers have found that during the entire growth process of sweet potatoes, pests such as weevils and grubs often occur. These pests can cause damage to the tuber roots by feeding on the sweet potato vines, leaf stems, young buds, and exposed tubers. In addition, they often bore and corrode the tubers, and excrete their feces inside the tunnels, causing the sweet potatoes to rot, become moldy, and emit a foul smell, making them inedible and resulting in significant losses.
During a long periods of hot weather, underground pests are more conducive to growth and reproduction. Therefore, it is recommended that growers use pesticides in advance to prevent and control these pests and ensure safe and healthy of sweet potato growth.
Below, we recommend a high-efficiency insecticide that can prevent sweet potatoes from being "harassed" by underground pests.
Different from the coating technique of general granules, Goldminer uses a one-piece molding granulation process. The active ingredient is evenly distributed inside the carrier and continuously released, which can effectively prevent and control underground pests such as sweet potato weevils and grubs, as well as aboveground pests such as whiteflies during the seedling stage.
