  - preventing and limiting potato late blight infection of tubers,
  - reducing the number of mechanical damages during harvest.
• Preparation for tuber harvest on potato plantations.
• Facilitation of machinery work (diggers, combines) during potato harvest.

Berry plant plantations:

• Reduction of dicotyledonous weed competition.
• Control of root suckers or runners.
• Optimisation of quantity and quality of yield of berry plants.
• Reduction of manual or mechanical labour in professional berry plant production.

Spotlight Plus 060 EO is a foliar herbicide. It is available as an EO emulsion (water in oil). Designed for destruction of potato haulm (edible and industrial potato plantations), destruction of runners and control of dicotyledonous weeds in strawberry inter-rows, as well as destruction of root suckers and control of dicotyledonous weeds in raspberry, blackberry, black and red currant, and highbush blueberry cultivation.

Contains ethyl carfentrazone, a protoporphyrinogen oxidase (PPO) inhibitor, increasing plant sensitivity to light (photodynamic action) and consequently causing their damage.

Acts contactly, absorbed through green parts of plants, and the drying (destruction) process of shoots starts from the plant growth tips.

The product is intended for use with self-propelled or tractor-mounted field sprayers.
