Integrated Pest Management Options
Seed Treatment
This disease can occur on all soil types but losses are greatest
in cold, wet, clay soils. Minimize soil compaction and remove excess
moisture through increased drainage. Seed treatments containing
metalaxyl or metalaxyl-M can reduce infection. Delay planting until
conditions will result in a rapid and uniform emergence.
