Abstract
Four pre-infection fungicides were found to be as effective as the industry standard ziram for the control of grapevine anthracnose. In field and glasshouse trials, dichlofluanid, captan, fluazinam and chlorothalonil all provided excellent disease control. Prochloraz and fenarimol were less effective, but still provided some control. Fenarimol, chlorothalonil and prochloraz displayed varying degrees of phytotoxicity associated with early season use. In general, the dernethylation inhibiting fungicides have little potential for control of grapevine anthracnose.
