Integrating Agriculture+ and Cynosa™ for maximum potato performance

Every potato programme is different, but the goal is always the same: strong plants, consistent yields and high-quality tubers. Maxstim Agriculture+ and Cynosa™ are designed to integrate seamlessly into existing agronomy plans, working alongside your current nutrition and protection regimes to deliver measurable results.

Agriculture+: build strength from planting

Start early to build a stronger crop foundation. Agriculture+ can be applied in-furrow at planting or injected with starter fertiliser, helping to drive early root development and uniform emergence.

  • Application rate: 5 L/ha
  • Water rate: 100–200 L/ha (depending on application)
  • Timing: At planting, with further applications during canopy development

By stimulating nutrient uptake and improving photosynthetic activity, Agriculture+ helps crops achieve greater canopy growth and higher tuber numbers, supporting consistent performance through the season.

Cynosa™: targeted support when plants need it most

Cynosa™ complements Agriculture+ by sustaining plant energy and recovery during periods of high demand or stress such as tuber initiation, canopy expansion and flowering.

  • Application rate: 2–3 L/ha
  • Water rate: 200 L/ha
  • Timing: Apply during rapid canopy growth and repeat through key physiological stages

This ensures continued metabolic activity and resilience, particularly under drought, heat or nutrient stress conditions.

Compatible with existing programmes

Both Agriculture+ and Cynosa™ can be used alongside standard nutrition, crop protection and irrigation schedules. They are compatible with most commonly used agrochemicals and fertilisers when mixed in water at normal spray volumes.

Their flexibility means they can be easily integrated into your current rotation without requiring new equipment or major changes to your plan.

Results in the field

Field trials across the UK show how this combined approach enhances performance:

  • Yield increases – up to 10% higher marketable yield
  • Improved skin finish and quality for premium pack-out
  • Better stress tolerance and canopy longevity
  • Stronger margins – up to £700–£800/ha increase

Plan your season with precision

Integrating Agriculture+ and Cynosa™ gives you a data-backed way to get more from every hectare, building stronger, more uniform crops that stand up to the challenges of modern potato production.
