Standen to sell new Discmaster haulm puller

摘要

A Dutch-made potato haulm puller is now available in the UK through Ely-based Standen Imports, offering growers a simple and cost-effective method of haulm destruction.Following the withdrawal of chemical des-iccant diquat, there has been much discussion over which alternative haulm destruction method, or combination of methods, is best.The vast majority of growers have opted for a flail-and-spray approach, which includes a pass with a topper to knock down the canopy, followed by applications of PPO-inhibitor herbicides to finish off the green stems.
