2 Hot Topics from 2013 Botrytis strawberry Spray program tomato Downy mildew pumpkin Bitter rot apple Orange rust - blackberry

3 Botrytis Gray Mold in Strawberries Fungicide resistance Surveys of Botrytis in the Carolinas have indicated resistance to Topsin M (MOA Group 1) in all isolates. Resistance to the other MOA groups varied. What to do?

4 Fungicide resistance testing for Botrytis Clemson University Dr. Guido Schnabel Free service for Southeastern states Instructions for submitting samples: Collecting and Mailing Guidelines for Fungicide Resistance Testing_gs-2 20 to 40 dead blossoms or 150 healthy blossoms. Collected randomly. Or dead leaves, if can t find dead blossoms

5 OR wait until harvest and submit cotton swabs with spores (too late to help you, but still good info)

6 Mailing Put the flowers or the 10 swabs in plastic bag. Package with information about the origin of the sample (farm name, state), your name, phone number, and address. Mail to: Guido Schnabel Clemson University 105 Collings St/220 BRC Clemson, SC phone (864) When to expect your report: The day they receive the sample you will get an notification. After notification, results sent to you by in 7 days (for flowers and leaves if get sufficient spores) or 4 days for swabs.

7 What to do if you don t get your Botrytis tested? (I.e., I don t know what fungicides will work in my field) Resistance a threat to all mode of action (MOA) groups other than M. Spread out risks by rotating three MOA groups. An M product should be included, alone or as a tank mix with one of the other groups. Avoid Topsin M. Switch has fared well in surveys but resistances to all other than M have been found.

8 Early blight of tomato very common & very damaging A spray program must be built around controlling it. Programs that rely on the Group 11 s (Quadris, Cabrio, Tanos) have not.

9 Cultural methods of control are helpful but inadequate. A new spray program was needed. In a trial conducted at Nashville, TN, all labeled fungicides considered candidates for a tomato spray program were compared. Early blight damage on a resistant variety.

10 Product & rate/75 gal Early Blight of Tomato 2013 Field Trial, Nashville This trial was a search for replacements for the Group 11 fungicides Quadris, Cabrio, and Tanos.

Switch to chlorothalonil when harvest begins. When not using mancozeb, discontinue use of copper if possible. NOTE: If late blight occurs, appropriate fungicides must be added.

Do not rotate products containing ingredients belonging to the same MOA group, with the exception of Group M. Rotation is not required of members of this group. b PHI=pre-harvest interval. c Where presented as a range of applications, the appropriate number depends on the rate(s) used. d Scale of 0-5, 0=no control and 5=excellent control. e Not recommended due to the widespread occurrence of resistant strains.

17 Spray Program Design Always rotate fungicides with nonrelated fungicides. The always rotate rule does not apply to the multi-site fungicides mancozeb and chlorothalonil. The risk of resistance developing to them is extremely low. Spray to protect, not to rescue. Disease control is better if the spray program is begun before diseases are observed. Pathogen resistance is much less likely to occur if the product is applied to a small population of the fungus than to a large one. DO NOT APPLY FONTELIS OR INSPIRE SUPER TO SEVERELY DISEASED CROPS. It is important that we retain their effectiveness. PowerPoint available at
