Dr. Natalia Peres (University of Florida) shared some additional information with me concerning possible fungicides to use in rotation with Switch and Thiram. Keep in mind that none of these fungicides are providing great control of this disease, but they are providing increased yields by comparison to untreated plots. Rhyme and Tilt (DMI fungicides) are also providing disease suppression — not as much as Thiram and Switch but better than nothing for sure. If the disease is confirmed, I would consider adding one or the other of these DMI fungicides to your arsenal.
