Strawberry Fungicide Registered In California
July 25, 2012 Isagro USA has received approval from the U.S. EPA and the California Department of Pesticide Regulation for the use of Mettle 125 ME fungicide on strawberries.
Mettle (tetraconazole) provides growers with effective, long-lasting control of powdery mildew. Tetraconazole, a Fungicide Resistance Action Committee (FRAC) Group 3, is a new generation triazole for strawberry and is unlike any other fungicide on the market.
“With best-in-class systemic action and rapid uptake; Mettle controls powdery mildew in both preventive (pre-infection) and curative (post-infection) applications when disease symptoms are not yet visible. METTLE also provides residual protection of new plant tissues that emerge after application for longer lasting control,” says Alan Haack, Mettle development specialist, Isagro USA. “We are excited to offer strawberry growers a powerful new tool for protecting their crop against devastating diseases while maximizing yield.”
State registrations, specific crops, and/or pest uses may still be pending in certain states. Check with your state regulatory agency or crop protection advisor or an Isagro USA representative for registration status.
