The Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) recently announced the approval of a minor use label expansion registration for ZAMPRO® Fungicide (ametoctradin + dimethomorph) for control of downy mildew on spinach and suppression of downy mildew on blackberries in Canada. ZAMPRO® Fungicide was already labeled for management of several diseases on a range of crops in Canada.
These minor use proposals were submitted by Agriculture & Agri-Food Canada, Pest Management Centre (AAFC-PMC) 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 disease management decisions within a robust integrated pest management program and should consult the complete label before using ZAMPRO® Fungicide.
