New Resistance Management Tool For Tender Fruit Crops

 
FMC of Canada is pleased to announce the registration of Rovral Fungicide WP for use on nectarine crops in Canada.  Rovral Fungicide WP controls the blossom blight form of brown rot while protecting fruit against infection.   Rovral® is a FRAC (Fungicide Resistance Action Committee) group 2 dicarboximide fungicide.   As a group 2 product, Rovral will be an important tool in the fight against fungicide resistance for the nectarine crop.  A 1 day pre harvest interval (PHI) contributes to the versatility of the product. 
 
“Addition of nectarines to the Rovral Fungicide WP label introduces a new mode of action for brown rot,” says Wayne Myers, Eastern Business Manager for FMC of Canada. “Nectarines have grown in popularity in recent years with both consumers and growers and now account for 15% of the tender fruit acreage in Canada. It is important for growers to have access to Rovral® Fungicide WP as a rotational treatment to help slow the development of resistance,” Myers added.
