This publication is a guide to lawful use of sprayable chemicals intended for control of plant diseases affecting vegetables grown in Florida. For each crop, products are listed by FRAC code in alphabetical order to help differentiate products based on their active ingredient(s) and their specific mode of action(s).
Control of plant diseases is achieved by utilizing numerous cultural, biological, regulatory and chemical tactics. This publication serves as a guide to chemical control for vegetables grown in Florida. The performance of a chemical is enhanced by utilizing non-chemical tactics to reduce inocula. Also, within chemical control, numerous variables influence the performance of the chemical. Time of applications, nozzle arrangement, spray dilution, chemical rate per unit area, adjuvants, and rainfall are some of the variables associated with chemical application technology. Beginning spray programs prior to or at first sign of disease is best.
