Greenhouse - Pest Control Recommendations and Botrytis Control

The following is some information from Bob Mulrooney, UD Extension Plant Pathologist.

The following is a good source of pest management recommendations for Greenhouse crops. http://www.umass.edu/umext/floriculture/pest_management/ne_pest_manage_guide.html

This is a great publication with good information on control of diseases. At this time of year Botrytis blight can be a real problem. They address this in this publication. Remember to alternate fungicides with different mode of action. Be sure to check labels for crops that can be sprayed with the different products. Decree, Medallion, Chipco 26019, Daconil are all good products and could be rotated.
