Here is this week’s ‘Fungicide Resistance Management Minute’ brought to you by Corteva. We’re hearing from Lindee Love, Corteva’s Strategic Account Manager in Northern California on a program approach for fungicide resistance management.
Q: Let’s talk about a program approach for fungicide resistance management. What would that include?
A: So, for a program approach, what a grower or PCA would probably be doing is coming up with a tentative program based off of the history from that specific ranch, what issues they’ve had in the past. And if it is a new ranch just coming up with that tentative program to make sure that their fungicide program is going to cover any diseases or pathogens to reduce crop loss and as the season goes, they’re probably going to adjust the program as necessary due to environmental conditions and disease pressure, but they’re going to be proactive. They’re going to implement their programs early and make sure that they’re controlling the diseases as necessary.
Q: Lindee, where can folks get more information on all of this?
A: Growers could contact their local Corteva Agriscience representative or visit Corteva.US/fungicideresistance.
Thank you for all the information. That was Lindee Love with this week’s ‘Fungicide Resistance Management Minute’ brought to you by Corteva.
