2These fungicides are not recommended for powdery mildew control due to the development of funigicide-resistant strains of the powdery mildew fungus.
3These fungicides are not recommended for downy mildew control due to the development of funigicide-resistant strains of the downy mildew fungus.
4Where Topsin M-resistant strains of the powdery mildew and Botrytis fungi have been detected, Topsin M will be ineffective and should not be used.
