Treat field with miticide or release mite predators if TSSM are found on more than 25% of leaves sampled.
Consult your Extension Specialist for help identifying mite predators and/or finding a source of predators for release.

Good spray coverage, especially on the underside of leaves is important for successful control. Use adequate gallonage and sufficient pressure to achieve good spray coverage.
Repeat applications may be needed for successful control.
Apply Portal in a minimum of 25 gals. of water per acre.
Savey and Zeal are effective on eggs and immatures and not adults so are best used when infestation levels are low.

Plant beds in such a way as to maximize the air circulation and drying of foliage. Avoid excess nitrogen fertilization.

Some cultivars are more susceptible to powdery mildew than others. See Table 22 for susceptibility rating.

Cultivars vary in their susceptibility to powdery mildew.

Applications of Abound should begin prior to disease development. See label for details.

Captan has a 0 day phi, but the REI of 24 hrs requires that PPE be worn during this period.

Apply Torino in a minimum of 20 gals of water per acre.

Begin application of Serenade for suppresion of powdery mildew at or before flowering and repeat every 7-10 days or as needed through harvest. For improved performance, use in a tank mix or rotational program with other registered fungicides for powdery mildew control. 

Begin application of Kaligreen at first sign of  disease.

Both Badge SC and XE require 48 hr REI. 

CEASE is labelled for greenhouse/hightunnel production only. Requires 4 hr REI.

MilStop SP can be used preventatively and as a curative in early disease development. 

Begin applications of Merivon no later than 10% bloom, or prior to disease development and continue on a 7 to 14 day interval. Use the shorter interval and/or the higher rate when disease pressure is high. 

Do not make more than 2 sequential applications of Fracture before alternating with a different chemsitry.

Apply EcoSwing with minimum of 10gal water/A for ground applications. See label for additional applications methods and sites. 

See label for JMStylet Oil mixing restrictions (strawberries). 

Use a minimum of 15gal of water/A for ground application of Quadris Top.

Begin application of Switch 62.5WG at or before bloom. See label for interval details.

Tilt is more effective when applied and allowed to dry before a rainfall.

Improve air circulation by narrowing row width, increasing distance between rows, and raising beds. This will allow faster drying after rain, irrigation, and dew.

Remove or thoroughly incorporate leaf debris from field at renovation. This helps disrupt the disease cycle of these fungi.

Avoid excess nitrogen applications that promotes dense foliage and poor air circulation.

Treatment not needed unless infection is severe. Fungicide applications for gray mold will usually manage leaf spots as well.

Captan has a 0 day phi, but the REI of 24 hrs requires that PPE be worn during this period.

Remove or thoroughly incorporate leaf debris from field at renovation. This helps disrupt the disease cycle of these fungi.

Avoid excess nitrogen application that promotes dense foliage and poor air circulation.

Blossom protection is the most important component of successful Botrytis control. An early bloom application should be made at 10% bloom and followed up at mid and late bloom if field conditions are wet.

Captan has a 0 day phi, but the REI of 24 hrs requires that PPE be worn during this period.

Be careful about phytotoxicity when using JMS Stylet Oil in proximity to some other materials, especially Captan. Read label carefully before use.

Begin application of Serenade at or before flowering and repeat every 7-10 days or as needed through harvest. For improved performance, use in a tank mix or rotational program with other registered fungicide for Botrytis control.

CEASE is labelled for greenhouse/ high tunnel production only. Has 4 hr REI.

MilStop SP may be used curatively in early disease development or used preventatively.

Do not make more than 2 sequential applications of Fracture before alternating with a different chemistry.

BotryStop: Don't use stomatal flooding or penetrant adjuvant.

Begin application of Miravis Prime prior to disease development.

Avoid unneeded overhead irrigation; allow drying time between wetting periods when possible.
Avoid excess nitrogen application that promotes dense foliage and poor air cirulation.
Avoid working in fields when wet.

Do not apply Actigard 50WG within 5days of transplanting. Begin appplications when disease apears and continue on 7 to 10day interval. 

Apply Kocide in at least 20 gallons water. Use higher rates when conditions favor disease. Discontinue use if signs of crop injury appear.

Spray Oxidate when conditions first appear. Use caution when tank mixing Oxidate with other materials; conduct a compatability test for any combinations.

Both Badge SC and X2 formulations require 48hr REI for field use. 

Oxidate can be applied as curative or preventative (1:200-1:400). See label for application details.

Make sure to maintain a good mulch layer around plants to reduce puddling and splashing around plants from rain or irrigation.

For leather rot control, make 2 applications of Abound on a 7-day interval from late bloom to harvest. 

For control of leather rot apply Ridomil Gold during the growing season at fruit-set.

No fungicides until after renovation

Fungicides are usually not applied at this time for leaf spot diseases. Materials used for Botrytis management should alleviate leaf spot symptoms until after renovation.

Improve air circulation by narrowing row width, increasing distance between rows, and raising beds. This will allow faster drying after rain, irrigation, and dew.

Remove or thoroughly incorporate leaf debris from field at renovation. This helps disrupt the disease cycle of these fungi.

 

Same as Spring, Pre-bloom to early-bloom treatments above.

Do not allow fruit to become over-ripe.
Harvest regularly.

If irrigating between harvests, be sure the plants have time to dry prior to nightfall or use drip irrigation to deliver water while keeping foliage dry.

Fungicide applications at this time are for emergency situations. Good coverage at infection periods during bloom should make late season sprays unnecessary.

Be sure to follow label instructions for both REI and PHI restrictions.

Scout fields early for areas of stunted growth. Where found, dig up the roots of a plant and look for grubs. In mid to late summer look every 1- 2 weeks for leaf notching caused by adult feeding. Adult beetles hide in the soil during the day and feed at night.

Plow under old beds as soon as possible to avoid spread of the insect to new beds. Rotate to non-susceptible crop for 3 years.

A high rate (16 oz.) of Brigade or Bifenture is needed to obtain control of adult black vine weevil (best if applied at night).

Apply Platinum as soil drench in fall or early spring for control of larvae; may be applied to new plantings.

Apply nematodes in early- to mid-May or mid- to late-August as a band treatment. Application rates are given for the treated area. Irrigate prior to and following the nematode spray.

Use sufficient water to move the Ridomil Gold into the root zone. There is no preharvest interval for this application. Routine or preventative application of these materials is not recommended.

Apply Phostrol to foliage when weather is wet and cool in late summer or fall; repeat application in spring when growth begins.

Note: Orondis Gold has long PHI (28 days).
