Stone Fruit Disease Control Toolbox - Fungicide and Antibiotic Efficacy
Stone Fruit Diseases and Recommended Fungicides
Recommendations are based on chemical registrations as of September 2019.
To avoid fungicide resistance, practice good cultural control methods, use fungicide mixtures, tank-mix with a broad-spectrum protectant, and alternate chemicals by FRAC code group (see p. 215 in the 2020-2021 Penn State Tree Fruit Production Guide).
Please refer to product labels and the Penn State Extension Tree Fruit Production Guide for details on chemical use.
