Rating scale: E = excellent, generally good disease control under heavy disease pressure; G = good, good control under moderate disease pressure; F = fair, fair control under moderate disease pressure; S = slight, some control under light disease pressure; N = little or no effect on indicated disease; - = information lacking or not applicable.

Caution: Combinations involving Benlate or Topsin-M may become ineffective for scab or brown rot control if resistance to these fungicides develops. If resistance is suspected, switch to a fungicide program not involving Benlate or Topsin-M until the fungus has been tested for sensitivity.
