These schedules are simply to be used as a framework on which to base your program. They incorporate what we know about the best use of each fungicide. Some fungicides like Phosphite and the group 3 + group 11 materials have better activity on leaf scab. Others, like Elast, Tin, and Miravis Top offer the highest degree of nut scab protection. There are also other labeled materials that could be worked into the schedule.

Their exclusion from these examples does not mean they do not control scab. To the contrary, many are very good fungicides and could be rotated into a program just as easily as what you see above. But, based on Dr. Tim Brenneman\u2019s data, we feel that these chemistries applied at the stage the crop will be in during the times shown above will offer maximum protection from leaf and nut scab. Group 3 and Group 11 fungicides are those containing both a Triazole and a Strobilurin fungicide chemistry (think Absolute, Stratego, Quadris Top, Amistar Top, Quilt, Brixen, Custodia, TopGuard EQ, and others).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pecan Commercial Spray Guide:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/secure.caes.uga.edu\/extension\/publications\/files\/pdf\/B%20841_11.PDF\">https:\/\/secure.caes.uga.edu\/extension\/publications\/files\/pdf\/B%20841_11.PDF<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scab disease development requires the host and pathogen to be present and the conditions to be suitable for the pathogen to grow.
