-
Sclerotinia diseases are a major cause of
crop loss in a range of crops such as carrots,
beans, brassicas and lettuce
-
Crop losses can range from 10 to 45%
-
Intensive cropping of
susceptible crops in rotations has led to
build up of the fungus in the soil
-
Chemical controls are limited and
under conditions of high disease-pressure
these do not always prove effective
-
Better application and timing of registered fungicides with the right volume of water will improve effectiveness
-
BOSCALID is effective in controlling
Sclerotinia on beans and lettuce
-
Green manure Brassica crops in rotation will reduce disease
carryover and suppress Sclerotinia development in the soil
-
Select Sclerotinia tolerant crop rotations on high
disease-pressure sites
