Back2Basics: How to Choose the Right Fungicides for Nursery vs. Greenhouse Crop Diseases
Sunday, July 16 • 2:30 PM - 3:30 PM

This session will go over the differences between growing plants under nursery conditions compared to under more controlled conditions. Our speaker will show which products are more suited for nursery production based on: safety, rain/irrigation fastness, REI, residue appearance, cost or use, frequency (interval). Finally, the session will cover the most common diseases of some major nursery corps (like rose, nandina, boxwood and photinia) and what the most compatible fungicides would be for those crops.

Bridging the Gap Between Conventional and Biopesticides for Disease Control
Monday, July 17 • 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM

There are always questions about how to use biopesticides (especially biologicals) and conventional fungicides/bactericides in an effective disease control program. This session will cover key elements of both rotation and tank-mixing biopesticides and conventional products. Focus on the differences in both groups of disease control products will be included. The resources available for compatibility of these products will be covered. Finally, examples of specific programs for Botyris, bacterial leaf spots and rot diseases will complete the session.
