 | A primary measure for combating and/or managing fungicide resistance is to tank mix a contact fungicide with a fungicide at risk. |
| Specifically, the strobilurin fungicide kresoxim methyl (Sovran), the EBDC fungicide mancozeb (Dithane), the benzimidazole fungicide thiophanate-methyl (Topsin-M), and the DMI fungicide myclobutanil (Nova) were applied singly or as mixing partner with the contact fungicide Captan in a season long schedule to manage foliar and fruit scab. |
| The trial was conducted in a 'McIntosh' orchard known to harbor Venturia isolates resistant to the benzimidazole and DMI fungicides. |
