SF 012 (GSK195) - Blackcurrants: Evaluation of fungicides for the control of Botrytis
Summary
Three-spray programmes of the two newer fungicides, Signum and Frupica, gave better control of Botrytis than standard Elvaron Multi. Signum proved to be the most effective product tested, giving good (93%) control of pre-harvest Botrytis within the bush and the best yield response, more than doubling the yield of the untreated. Signum was the only treatment which significantly reduced post-harvest Botrytis fruit rots.

The objectives of this project were to:
- Provide information on the effectivemness and yield response from two new fungicides applied for Botrytis control compared with industry standards.
- To investigate the optimum timing for a strobilurin fungicide when used in a Botrytis control programme.
- Assess the level of incidental leaf spot and powdery mildew control achieved from the use of fungicides when applied in a Botrytis control programme during flowering.
- Assess the relative benefit from using a fungicide claimed to have rapid translaminar action (Scala) as the initial spray compared with a standard protectant programme.
