Foliar Fungicides for Control of Diseases on Pumpkins, 2001
نویسندگان
چکیده
Pumpkins for Halloween usage have become a widely grown crop in Tennessee. This season four fungicide treatments were evaluated for efficacy at The University of Tennessee Plateau Experiment Station at Crossville in 2001. Foliar diseases require a strict spray schedule for effective control. Therefore, a well balanced Integrated Pest Management program for control of mildew and blight diseases is essential for a profitable and successful crop. Powdery and downy mildews can completely defoliate the crop causing considerable reduction in both yield and total numbers of pumpkins.
