Downy Mildew was detected in Echols County this week on cucumber and this pathogen can affect watermelon and other vegetable crops in our area. Make sure to scout and apply preventative fungicides as shown below.
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).
