Peanuts are today cropped intensively in many parts of the world. The main diseases affecting peanuts on a global scale are Mycospaerella spp., Puccinia spp. and Sclerotinia spp. Flutriafol effectively controls:
Early leaf spot
- Mycosphaerella arachidis
Late leaf spot
- Mycosphaerella berkeley
Rust
- Puccinia arachidis
Impact® is an efficient alternative to chlorothalonil for the control of leaf spot and rust in peanuts.
Chlorothalonil is widely used for the control of early and late leaf spot. Its use is restricted to areas where Sclerotinia blight does not pose problems as applications with chlorothalonil increases the severity of this problem.
