The processed vegetable industry has struggled annually with EPA to secure the Ronilan label. EPA announced that the registration will be cancelled in September 30, 2005. There are a number of new fungicides that have not been evaluated for the control of either Botrytis or Sclerotina for snap beans in Oregon. The currently registered alternative fungicides to Ronilan; Benlate, Bravo, Topsin, and Royal, are all subject to review by the EPA under the guidelines set forth in the provisions of the 1996 Food Quality Protection Act.
