Summary:
Because of the vast number of fungicides available and the potential difficulty in understanding FRAC groups and their importance, vegetable producers need a simplified reference tool for the management of fungicide resistance in their farm operation. In the mid-Atlantic region, five states (NJ, MD, DE, PA and VA) share the use of a common commercial vegetable productions guide which is developed by university personnel from multiply disciplines on an annual basis. Each year over 3,500 copies of the production guide are distributed to growers who plant 221,000 acres of vegetable crops throughout the region on an annual basis. Although the recommendations guide includes FRAC groupings, a simplified version is necessary to help vegetable growers understand FRAC groupings and their importance in fungicide resistance management.
Objectives: The objective of this project is to develop a grower reference guide for fungicide resistance management in vegetable crops in the Mid-Atlantic region. Proposal |
