Five
fungicides were evaluated to control Botrytis blight of containerized
western larch seedlings at the Champion Timberlands Nursery, Plains, MT.
Fungicides were applied at biweekly intervals before and after seedling
inoculation with Botrytis. Vinclozolin (Ornalin®) caused severe phytotoxicity
to seedlings, resulting in enhanced mortality and premature
needle loss. Captan and chlorothalonil (Bravo 500@)) stunted seedlings.
Botrytis caused very little damage in this test. Control strategies
should incorporate fungicide application with cultural operations that
reduce seedling susceptibility and chances for infection.
