Subject: Sclerotinia on tomatoes in High Tunnels
All:
I am not a veg specialist but I do appreciate the opportunity to keep up
with some of the discussions of this group.
Would like to pose a question...
I have a local commercial grower producing fresh market tomatoes under
high tunnel culture
This year he experienced some losses from Sclerotinia...while "minor"
this year...he is concerned about the potential for increase in the 2010
season.
He is seeking control options.
Seems most/all soil fumigants are not appropriate for this production
environment...is that true?
He has had one product brought to his attention as an option Contans
marketed by Advans LLC
It apparently is a biological product that is OMRI approved...Does
anyone have experience with this
Type of product or have other suggestions that I might share...
Many thanks

To own a bit of ground, to scratch it with a hoe, to plant seeds and
watch the renewal of life- this is the commonest delight of the race,
the most satisfying thing a man (person) can do.
