Harvest recommendations
Fungicides
Fungicides may be needed to protect fruit from gray mold fruit rot in years where rainy wet weather persists while plants are in bloom. In this case, fungicides should be applied during blossom to prevent fruit rot.
Read and follow all label instructions. If the season is one characterized by prolonged periods of wet or humid weather, continue spraying at the interval described on the fungicide label until petal drop.
If possible watch the weather and spray before rain is predicted. Fungicides with copper or Captan as active ingredients will reduce gray mold fruit rot in strawberries when applied properly. Fungicide sprays applied to green fruit and during fruit harvest do little to reduce disease and are not recommended.
