The North American Fungicide Resistance Action Committee recently distributed the tenth edition of the Mid-Atlantic Region Fungicide Resistance Management Guidelines for Vegetable Crops for 2016.
This guide should be used as a supplement to the 2016 Mid-Atlantic Commercial Vegetable Production Recommendations. The purpose of this guide is to promote the importance and understanding of FRAC codes in fungicide resistance management, to prevent the misuse of specific fungicides with a high-risk for resistance development and, to provide the tools and knowledge that allow growers to develop vegetable disease control programs with an emphasis towards fungicide resistance management.
