Fungicides to control damping off in seedlings
Damping off is a fungal disease that affects seedlings, causing them to wilt and eventually die. There are several fungicides that can be used to control damping off in seedlings. Here are some examples:
-
Copper-based fungicides: Copper-based fungicides are effective against a wide range of fungal diseases, including damping off. These fungicides can be applied as a soil drench or as a foliar spray.
-
Thiophanate-methyl: Thiophanate-methyl is a systemic fungicide that is effective against damping off and other soil-borne diseases. It can be applied as a soil drench or as a foliar spray.
-
Chlorothalonil: Chlorothalonil is a broad-spectrum fungicide that is effective against damping off and other fungal diseases. It can be applied as a soil drench or as a foliar spray.
-
Azoxystrobin: Azoxystrobin is a systemic fungicide that is effective against damping off and other fungal diseases. It can be applied as a soil drench or as a foliar spray.
It is important to read and follow the instructions on the fungicide label carefully, including the application rate, timing, and safety precautions. It is also recommended to rotate between different fungicides to prevent the development of resistance in the fungal population.
