Ranman 400SC Fungicide Receives Second URMULE<br />
Registration in 2012<br />
Pythium Diseases on Greenhouse Transplants Targetted<br />
June 11, 2012 – Dorchester, Ontario – The Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) has<br />
granted a second User Requested Minor Use Label Expansion (URMULE) for Ranman 400SC<br />
fungicide. Control of Pythium damping-off and Pythium root rot in greenhouse transplants of tomato,<br />
pepper, cucumber, lettuce and Brassica vegetables, have been added to the label. Ranman fungicide<br />
previously received an URMULE in Spring 2012 for suppression of white rust on spinach.<br />
Ranman is a Group 21 product with the active ingredient cyazofamid. It is also registered for use on<br />
carrots, cucurbits and potatoes for several other diseases.<br />
“With this latest registration, Ranman can now be used for control of Pythium damping-off and<br />
Pythium root rot on greenhouse transplants of specified vegetables, at a rate of 30 millilitres per 100<br />
litres of water,” says Janet Porchak, National Marketing Manager with <strong>UAP</strong> Canada Inc., distributors<br />
of Ranman fungicide in Canada. Ranman should be applied as a soil drench to the growing medium<br />
immediately after seeding.<br />
David Strilchuk, Canada Country Manager with FMC Corporation, the marketers of Ranman in<br />
Canada, notes that this minor use registration was supported and co-sponsored by government<br />
stakeholders on both sides of the Canada – U.S. border. “We appreciate the collaboration by<br />
personnel in both countries in recognition of the minor use priorities identified by both growers and<br />
extension personnel.”<br />
Strilchuk says Ranman fungicide should be used as part of an Integrated Pest Management program<br />
and in rotation with other disease management products as part of an effective resistance<br />
management strategy.<br />
