Strawberry

General Properties of Fungicides Used in Strawberries

(Reviewed 6/08, updated 6/08)

In this Guideline:
Common name (trade name) Chemical class Group (FRAC) number1 Activity Mode of action Resistance potential Comments
azoxystrobin (Abound) Qol4 11 systemic2 single-site high  
captan phthalamide M4 contact multi-site very low toxic to honey bee larvae; do not apply during bloom
cyprodinil (Vangard) anilinopyrimidine 9 mostly contact, slightly systemic single-site high  
fenhexamid (Elevate) hydroxyanilide 17 contact single-site high  
fludioxonil (Scholar) phenylpyrrole 12 contact few to multi-site low  
fludioxonil/cyprodinil phenylpyrrole/
anilinopyrimidine 		12/9 contact/systemic single-site medium  
fosetyl-al (Aliette) phosphonate 33 systemic multi-site low  
iprodione (Rovral) dicarboximide 2 systemic multi-site low toxic to honey bee larvae; do not apply during bloom
mefenoxam (Ridomil Gold) phenylamide 4 systemic single-site high  
myclobutanil (Rally) DMI3-triazole 3 systemic2 single-site high  
pyraclostrobin (Cabrio) Qol4 11 systemic2 single-site high  
quinoxyfen (Quintec) quinoline 13 contact single-site medium  
thiophanate-methyl (Topsin) benzimidazole 1 systemic single-site very high  
thiram dithiocarbamates M3 contact multi-site low  
triflumizole (Procure) DMI3-imidazole 3 systemic2 single-site high  
1  Group numbers are assigned by the Fungicide Resistance Action Committee (FRAC) according to different modes of actions (for more information, see http://www.frac.info/). Fungicides with a different group number are suitable to alternate in a resistance management program. In California, make no more than one application of fungicides with mode of action Group numbers 1, 4, 9, 11, or 17 before rotating to a fungicide with a different mode of action Group number; for fungicides with other Group numbers, make no more than two consecutive applications before rotating to fungicide with a different mode of action Group number.
2 Generally considered to have systemic action based on performance data but has not been proven experimentally.
3 DMI = demethylation (sterol) inhibitor
4 Qol = quinone outside inhibitor (strobilurin)
