Jim Chaput, OMAFRA, Minor Use Coordinator, Guelph

The Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) recently announced the approval of an URMULE registration for Indar^TM Fungicide for control mummy berry on highbush blueberries in Canada. Indar^TM Fungicide was already labeled for management of several diseases on stone fruit in Canada.

This minor use project was submitted by Ontario in 2013 as a result of minor use priorities established by growers and extension personnel in Canada.

The following is provided as an abbreviated, general outline only. Users should consult the complete label before using Indar^TM Fungicide.

Indar^TM Fungicide should be used in an integrated pest management program and in rotation with other management strategies to adequately manage resistance. Indar^TM Fungicide is toxic to aquatic organisms. Do not contaminate aquatic habitats when spraying or when cleaning and rinsing spray equipment or containers. Fenbuconazole is persistent and may carry-over, therefore it is recommended that fenbuconazole not be used in areas treated with this product during the previous season.

Follow all other precautions and directions for use on the Indar^TM Fungicide label carefully.
