Integrated Pest Management Options

Plant good-quality seed under conditions that promote rapid germination (warm temperatures). Using metalaxyl or metalaxyl-M seed treatment will increase stand establishment. Maintain a good fertility balance and avoid excess fertilizer, which promotes disease and phytotoxicity. Avoid deep planting of seed.
