Flyspeck prevention, Full-dose Captan or Ziram: July spray dates

Background Information for this page
Return to radar list for Greenville RI
    Continuous protection from June 10 until 30 days before harvest is recommended.  Risk of new flyspeck infections increases around July 14, and increases again around August 22.
     Flyspeck infections that begin before August 17 are likely to become visible around September 20.  Infections that begin before September 3 are likely to become visible around October 20.  But warm wet weather in September can accelerate flyspeck development resulting in earlier dates of flyspeck appearance before harvest.
     Postinfection control of flyspeck may occur with application a strobilurin or Topsin M fungicide within 50 wet hours after the 'Protection end date' of the previous fungicide application.
