The approval applies to nearly 100,000 acres of almond wood in California, but only in Butte, Colusa, Fresno, Glenn, Madera, Merced, San Joaquin, Stanislaus, Sutter, Tehama, Yolo and Yuba counties.
This is the second consecutive year that KASUMIN Fungicide has been exempted from Section 18.

 

　　David Davies, UPL's Specialty Crop Marketing Manager, said: "The approval of Section 18 for the fungicide KASUMIN will provide much-needed support to California albert growers to help them control Pseudomonas syringae in the coming season.
KASUMIN has adopted different targets.
The action site protects the health of fruit trees, crop quality and yield, and is an efficient tool for the prevention and control of this bacterial disease.
"

 

　　According to Section 18, KASUMIN can be applied twice at 64 fluid ounces per acre.
It should be applied during the period from the blooming of the flower buds to the falling off of the petals, which is conducive to the development of the disease.
It is prohibited to use it after the petals fall off.

 

　　After obtaining federal and state registration in 2019, KASUMIN has been successfully applied to the control of walnut wilt in California walnut planting.
KASUMIN is the only member of FRAC Group 24 and has high preventive activity against many plant pathogenic bacteria.
Its active ingredient kasugamycin (kasugamycin) has a unique active site and mode of action.

 

　　The fungicide mainly plays a preventive role, and is suitable for application during early budding and flowering to form a protective layer of fungicide on newly-grown green tissues and flowers.
KASUMIN is a topical systemic bactericide.
In addition to controlling plant diseases through contact, the active ingredients in KASUMIN can also be absorbed by the green tissues of plants, thereby preventing and controlling target pathogens more widely.

 

　　KASUMIN has no cross-resistance with other fungicides, and it can best exert its effect when used in a rotation program.
After KASUMIN is administered to alba, the restricted entry interval (REI) is 12 hours, and the safe interval (PHI) is 100 days.
The product has no animal or human use.
