We had an unusually wet June
this year and this has the potential
to cause more diseases to show up
in your fields now and through
harvest.
Although it is hot and dry as I
write today, the presence of a grea
ter amout of fungal spores has the
potential to result in significant
disaease outbreaks if the weather
turns wet again.
While you can stretch the inter
vals between fungicide applica
tions during hot, dry weather, be

Apple rots can be expected to be
more severe in Pennsylvania
orchards this year because of the
wet weather. Although fruit are
infected in the immature green
fruit stage, rots won’t appear until
the fruit are nearly ripe.
The only two fungicides we
have to prevent fruit tots at this
time of year are Captan or Ziram.
Captan is a little more effective but
Ziram does not have the extended

are frequent and heavy, care must
be taken to maintain fungicide
protection.
Brown rot was a problem for
sweet cherry growers because of
wet weather and fruit cracking.
Indar has proven to be very effec
tive in controlling brown rot under
these severe conditions.
Indar has a 0 day preharvest
interval. Indar is not labeled for
prunes or plums. There is no label
for Orbit on cherries. However,
Orbit has performed very well in
brown rot trials on other stone
fruits.
Rovral and Ronilan are protec
tant fungicides which are also
effective in controlling brown rot.
Since they are protective materials
theycan be washed offbyrain. The
preharvest interval for Rovral was
changed from 0 days to 7 days.
Ronilan has a 14-day preharvest
interval.
Sooty blotch and fly speck will
also be a problem this year because
of our early wet weather, and we
should expect to see these diseases
• Air Drying Systems
• Grain Dryers
• Parts & Motors
earlier than usual this season. Once
you see these diseases, they can
spread rapidly in the orchard, espe
cially if the weather remains wet.
Topsin-M or Benlate are the
most effective materials in con
trolling these diseases. Growers
should apply one of these materials
for sooty blotch and fly speck con
trol along with Captan orZiram for
fruit rot control.
Vegetables
The following are some disease
• reminders from Dr. Alan Mac Nab.
He notes that some vegetable dis
eases will begin to appear in July
while others will get started in
July, although symptoms may not
appear until August In addition to
the following notes, controls are
presented in the “Commercial
Vegetable Production Guide.”
Identification information is avail
able in the colored publication,
“Identifying Vegetable Diseases,”
available from the Penn State
Campus at University Park and
from most extension offices.
Asparagus:
Rust: Apply fungicides to young
plantings. During the years before
harvest is started, and when fem
growth becomes heavy relatively
early, fungicides may be impor
tant, especially because of the
dense growth.

Beans:
Mosaic viruses: Use resistance
to BV-1. Provide good weed con
trol; weeds are a source of bean
viruses. Do not plant near clovers
they are a source of bean vir
uses. Do not make successive
plantings in adjacent strips or
fields; the few diseased plants that
appear in early plantings act as an
important virus source for later
adjacent plantings.
White mold and gray mold:
Apply protective fungicide sprays
when warranted. Wet conditions
immediately before and during
bloom promote disease
development.
A Section 18 label for Ronilan
50DF has been granted for Pen
nsylvania in 1996; this material

Beans, limas:
Downy mildew: During wet
weather, when conditions favor
disease, use fungicides. See the
Vegetable Guide for details.
Beets:
Leaf spots: Use fungicides
where disease usually occurs.
