Potato Program
Stoller’s Potato Program
Stoller’s Potato Program was developed to help growers get the most out of every acre. Whether you’re looking to increase tuber numbers, increase emergence, or just increase overall yield, Stoller has a solution for you every step of the way. Through years of research, we have developed a potato program that has proven results both in the field and in the lab.
The Program:
The Stoller Potato Program is based on maximizing yield potential through the use of our Bio-Stimulant Products, Bio-Forge Premier & Fortified Stimulate® Yield Enhancer.
This program was also designed to not add additional passes to your current potato program but enhance your current applications. Stoller’s products are tank-mix compatible with most industry seed treatments, herbicides, fungicides, & insecticides.
