Fruit disease control, stone

The need for new fungicides for stone fruits has increased because of the development of benzimidazole-resistant Monilinla fructicola (8,9,30) and Coccomyces hiemalls (10) in important stone fruit production areas of the eastern United States. Resistance has been a major problem for stone fruit growers because alternative fungicides are less effective, more costly or require more frequent applications than benzimidazole fungicides. The recent registrations of iprodione and triforine for control of stone fruit diseases have helped to alleviate problems caused by benzimidazole resistance.
