Full Canadian approval for Bayer's fenamidone

The Canadian Pest Management Regulatory Agency has confirmed the full registration of Bayer CropScience's fungicide, Reason 500 SC (fenamidone 500 g/litre), on potatoes. The fungicide is aimed at the control of late blight (Phytophthora infestans) and early blight (Alternaria solani) in a tank-mix with mancozeb or chlorothalonil. The full registration was proposed last year, following a temporary approval in 2003.
