The Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) recently announced the approval of a minor use label expansion registration for DECREE 50 WDG fungicide for control of botrytis leaf blight on greenhouse onions for transplant in Canada. DECREE 50 WDG fungicide was already labeled for Botrytis management 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 joint project with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) IR-4 project 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 DECREE® 50 WDG fungicide.

Follow all other precautions, restrictions, and directions for use on the DECREE 50 WDG fungicide label carefully.

For a copy of the new minor use label contact your local extension specialist, regional supply outlet, or visit the PMRA label site http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/cps-spc/pest/registrant-titulaire/tools-outils/label-etiq-eng.php
