Objectives:

Evaluation of Fungicides for the Control of Gray and White Mold in Snap Beans

Cancellation of the registration of an effective bean mold fungicide, Ronilan, is slated to occur at the end of growing season in 2005. Finding equivalent alternatives by 2006 for use in snap bean is critical. The goal of the project is to continue evaluations of alternative fungicides for their effectiveness in controlling Gray Mold (Botrytis cinerea) and White Mold (Sclerotinia sclerotiorum) on snap bean using Ronilan as the industry standard.
