The Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) recently approved a minor use label expansion registration for Kenja fungicide for control of rusty root disease in Canada. Kenja fungicide was already labeled for disease control on a wide range of crops in Canada. This minor use proposal was submitted by Agriculture & Agri-Food Canada, Pest Management Centre (AAFC-PMC) as a result of minor use priorities established by growers and extension personnel.
The following is provided as an abbreviated, general outline only. Users should be making disease management decisions within a robust integrated disease management program and should consult the complete label before using Kenja fungicide.
Crop(s) | Target | Rate (L of product / ha) | Application Information | PHI (days) |
Ginseng | Control of Cylindrocarpon root rot (Rusty Root Disease) (Ilyonectria morspanacis syn. Cylindrocarpon destructans) | 1.46 (584 g a.i./ha) | Initiate applications within 2 weeks of plant emergence and/or prior to disease development and continue at 7-day intervals if conditions continue to be favorable for disease development. Use 1000 to 1870 L/ha of spray volume to ensure runoff into the soil and root zone. Do not make more than 2 sequential applications of KENJA 400SC FUNGICIDE or other Group 7 containing fungicides before rotating to a fungicide with a different mode of action. Do not apply more than 3 applications per year. | 14 |
Follow all other precautions, restrictions, and directions for use on the Kenja fungicide label carefully.
