The Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) recently announced the approval of minor use label expansion registrations for VelumTM Prime Nematicide/Fungicide for the suppression of nematodes on ginseng, caneberries, pome fruit and stone fruit in Canada. VelumTM Prime Nematicide/Fungicide was already labeled for use against nematodes on several crops in Canada.
These minor use proposals were submitted by Agriculture & Agri-Food Canada, Pest Management Centre as a result of minor use priorities established by growers and extension personnel.
The following is provided as an abbreviated, general outline only. Users should be making pest management decisions within a robust integrated pest management program and should consult the complete label before using VelumTM Prime Nematicide/Fungicide.
