The Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) recently announced the approval of a minor use label expansion registration for Milstop foliar fungicide for suppression of powdery mildew on greenhouse grown cucurbits (CG 9) in Canada. Milstop foliar fungicide was already labeled for powdery mildew on a wide range of crops in Canada. This minor use proposal was submitted by the Ministère de l'Agriculture, des Pêcheries et de l'Alimentation du Québec 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 Milstop foliar fungicide.

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
