MycoGold for Potatoes – Mycorrhizal Seed Treatment

Achieve Golden Potato Yields

(Improved Growth + Stronger Disease Defense)

MycoGold WP delivers a diverse consortium of beneficial microbes that rapidly colonize the seed piece, emerging roots, and surrounding soil. This early establishment improves plant vigor, nutrient efficiency, and natural disease suppression—resulting in stronger stands and more uniform tuber development.

Ultimate Biological Potato Seed Treatment

🌱 Better Growth & Yield Potential

Enhanced Root Development
The microbial blend stimulates root branching and root hair formation, creating a larger absorption zone for water and nutrients. Stronger root systems support:

  • Faster emergence
  • More uniform plant stands
  • Improved stress tolerance (heat, drought, and compaction)

Improved Nutrient Uptake
These microbes help unlock phosphorus, nitrogen, potassium, and micronutrients from the soil and fertilizer band. This leads to:

  • Better early season growth
  • Improved canopy development
  • More efficient use of applied fertilizer
  • More consistent tuber set and sizing

Healthier Soil Biology Around the Seed Piece
By rapidly colonizing the rhizosphere, Potato Soluble outcompetes harmful organisms and builds a living microbial barrier around young roots and developing tubers.

🛡 Disease Control & Crop Protection

MycoGold WP helps suppress key soilborne pathogens through competition, antibiosis, and induced plant resistance. This reduces early infections and protects developing tubers throughout the season.

Targeted benefits include suppression of:

  • Rhizoctonia (Black scurf & stem canker)
    Reduces seed piece decay and stem lesions, improving stand establishment.
  • Fusarium (Seed piece decay & dry rot)
    Limits pathogen colonization and supports healthier sprouts and roots.
  • Pythium (Leak & damping-off)
    Helps protect young roots and tubers under wet or stressed conditions.
  • Silver scurf & early storage rots (indirect suppression)
    Healthier skins and reduced disease pressure improve storability.

Systemic Defense Activation
Certain microbes in the blend trigger natural plant immune responses, increasing tolerance to foliar and tuber diseases later in the season.

The MycoGold Advantage

8-20% Yield Increases

By improving nutrient uptake and soil biology, MycoGold seed inoculant supports plant growth leading to yield increases.

10% Reduction of Fertilizer

MycoGold’s critical bacteria and fungi work as bio fertilizers that fix nitrogen, unlock P, and create better root development and soil biology, which allows for the better uptake of nutrients.

High Counts of Endomycorrhizal Propagules

Propagules start benefiting the plant in the early stages and are more effective than spores for row crops short growing season.

Improved Drought Resistance

Since MycoGold seed inoculant supports water uptake from the soil, they strengthen plants in drought periods. This is a high importance in times of increasingly extreme climate conditions.

Improved Pest Resistance

Certain microbes in the blend trigger natural plant immune responses, increasing tolerance to foliar and tuber diseases later in the season.

Benefits

🚜 Why Potato Growers Will See Value

Application Method

MycoGold® WP for potatoes is a biological potato seed inoculant or in-furrow treatment. Mix MycoGold® WP seed treatment with water, apply directly on seed pieces or in-furrow.

See labels for application rate.

What Farmers are Saying

“We have been using MycoGold on our potatoes for the last two years. We have eliminated insect infestations since. It has consistently outperformed control by 25% every year.”

– Thomas G., Idaho

“Increased our production and had no disease or psyllid cases this year. Will use MycoGold again.”

– James K., Colorado
