Fusiform rust control with systemic fungicides

Effective control of fusiform rust in southern nurseries is often incomplete with ferbam. Two systemic fungicides offer promise of improving the level of control. Benodanil (four applications) was tested two years in the nursery and shown to be as effective as over 30 applications of ferbam. Bayleton treatment of seed was found to afford protection in a laboratory trial. The fungicide did not impact seed germination, but did significantly reduce rust infections following germination. Future research needs are discussed in light of the findings.
