With the amount of moisture this season, UPL Territory Sales Manager Andrew Easton said there is significant Cercospora Leaf Spot pressure.”I would say growers have been more on the defensive side where they’ve started their applications earlier. I was getting the first calls on Cercospera the week before the 4th of July so I’m pretty happy to hear that growers are taking it seriously with the conditions that we’ve had and they’re getting up and ahead of it.” Easton said UPL’s MANZATE PRO-STICK fungicide has a short pre-harvest interval, which allows an application to happen as pre-pile approaches.
