Potatoes
BioRevolution’s potato programme is aimed at improving both yield and crop quality while supporting healthier plant performance throughout the season. The results below cover multiple production regions and include not only yield and size distribution, but also common scab and aphid pressure.
Potato Spray Programme
Yield (t/ha)
Limpopo
Semi-commercial trial
The C4L programme delivered a 9% yield increase, achieving a record-breaking 72 t/ha - the highest yield in the farm's history.
Yield (t/ha)
Graafwater
Semi-commercial trial
Three applications of C4L at 250 mL/ha delivered a 56% yield increase compared to the standard treatment.
Yield (t/ha) & Size Distribution
Clanwilliam
Commercial trial
The C4L treatment increased yield by 7% and shifted size distribution, with fewer small fruits and more in the largest categories.
Incidence of Common Scab
Variety: BP1
Aurora - 2010
Adding C4L to the standard fungicide programme significantly reduced the incidence of common scab compared to the standard programme alone.
Aphid Infestation
Variety: BP1
Aurora - 2010
Commercial trial
The C4L programme, when added to the standard practice, significantly decreased aphid infestation.
Taken together, these trials show that the programme’s value goes beyond tonnage alone. In potatoes, improvements in size profile, disease pressure, and pest incidence can all contribute to better pack-out, stronger returns, and a more consistent commercial result.
