Posted by Rosemary Gordon|April 6, 2016

This season, growers of onions, garlic, chives, and shallots can add Ranman 400 SC fungicide to their disease resistance management programs. From Summit Agro USA, the fungicide is now registered for control of downy mildew in bulb vegetables.

The product’s chemistry is said to make it ideal for disease resistance management programs that use either alternation or mixture strategies. A zero-day pre-harvest interval (PHI) allows application up to the day of harvest.

“As the only fungicide with a FRAC group 21 designation, Ranman is in a class of its own,” says Fred Yates, Summit Agro marketing manager.

The new use registration includes all members of the Bulb Vegetable Crop Group 3-07. This group includes: chive, fresh leaves; chive, Chinese fresh leaves; daylily, bulb; elegans hosta; fritillaria, bulb and leaves; garlic, bulb; garlic, great-headed, bulb; garlic, serpent, bulb; kurrat; lady’s leek; leek; leek, wild; lily, bulb; onion, Beltsville bunching; onion, bulb; onion, Chinese, bulb; onion, fresh; onion, green; onion, macrostem; onion, pearl; onion, potato, bulb; onion, tree, tops; onion, Welsh, tops; shallot, bulb; shallot, fresh leaves; cultivars, varieties, and/or hybrids of these.
