Downy mildew  has been detected on cucumber in Echols County. These observations indicate that inoculum of downy mildew is currently in southern GA counties  and under favorable conditions  potential disease outbreak in cucurbit can occur. I would suggest our cucurbit growers to look for the downy mildew symptoms in their fields and start applying protective spray of below stated fungicides.
Watermelon: Rotation (foliar application)  with  Orondis Opti; 
                                                                                               Elumin+Bravo/Manzate;
                                                                                               Ranman+Bravo/Manzate; 
                                                                                               Previcur flex+Bravo/Manzate
 
Please do not use Orondis Opti or Bravo after fruit set
 
Other cucurbits: Orondis opti;
                                   Elumin+Bravo; 
                                   Ranman+Bravo
                                   Previcur flex+Bravo
 
  • If Orondis was used as a soil application, please do not use it as foliar (use restriction according to the product label).
