The Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) recently approved a minor use label expansion registration for RootShield WP biological fungicide for suppression of root rot caused by Pythium spp., Rhizoctonia spp., and Fusarium spp. in Canada. RootShield WP biological fungicide was already labeled for disease control on a wide range of crops in Canada. This minor use proposal was submitted by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food, and Rural Affairs 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 RootShield WP biological fungicide.
