One of the striking conclusions from the virus tests at testing ground Zwaagdijk is that peppermint oil seemed very promosing as new virus fighter in seed potatoes. Karel Steijaert (EMT at CZAV): "There are less and less applications that are allowed, labels change and intervals have to be adjusted. It's needed that alternatives are being introduced. The amount of lice killers are restricted. The virus tests also showed that mineral oils being maintained - also in periods of drought in seed potatoes - continues to be essential for the prevention of viruses in seed potatoes. Peppermintoil as additive on existing virus control has been proven as added value for seed potatoe growers."<br><br>
