Extension specialists in the mid-Atlantic and Northeast regions have put together new guidelines for cucurbit powdery and downy mildew control. These new guidelines list all recommended fungicides and their efficacy ratings for controlling both diseases based on recent fungicide efficacy trials. Also included in the new FRAC table are notes on fungicides where resistance has been detected in the region. The new FRAC table can be downloaded for FREE on American Phytopathology Society’s Plant Health Progress website.

Not sure of ramifications, but snow cover on some treatments was melted or melting faster compared to other treatments. This trial has numerous combinations of topdressing sands and rates as well as hollow […]
