Strawberries across the state are waking up and it’s time to think fungicide spray programs. Once you determine that flowers are going to make through to being fruit, fungicide spray programs need to be initiated. The majority of all fruit rot that we see are due to pathogens infecting flowers, which means it is vital to protect these flowers to prevent losses.
Dr. Aaron Cato, Extension Specialist- Horticulture IPM, of the University of Arkansas Cooperative Extension Service presents a talk about foliar fungicides on commercial strawberries in the Southeast.
