Managing Fungicide Resistance – Best Practice

• Exploit all practical, non-chemical control options
• Use varieties with resistance to the main diseases of concern
• Minimise the number of applications – only use fungicides when the risk or presence of disease warrants treatment, and treat before the infection becomes well established
• Use the minimum dose required to effectively control the target disease
• Include a multisite fungicide, where available, in both the early and late-season sprays
• Make use of effective fungicides with different modes of action in alternate sprays or mixtures
• Avoid repeat applications of the same mode of action B
