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
