Cyclone and Lacto-san fungicide and bactericide labels expanded via Minor Use Program for suppression of powdery mildew on field-grown cannabis and hemp in Canada

Jim Chaput, OMAFRA, Minor Use Coordinator, Guelph

The Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) recently announced the approval of minor use label expansion registrations for Cyclone and Lacto-san fungicide and bactericide for suppression of powdery mildew on field-grown cannabis and hemp in Canada. Cyclone and Lacto-san fungicide and bactericide were already labeled for use on a variety of crops in Canada for suppression of several diseases.  These are some of the first ever minor use registrations for ‘field-grown cannabis and hemp’ in Canada.

These minor use projects were submitted by Ontario as a result of minor use priorities established by growers and extension personnel.

The following is provided as an abbreviated, general outline only. Users should be making pest management decisions within a robust integrated pest management program and should consult the complete label before using Cyclone or Lacto-san fungicide and bactericide

Do not apply or allow drift of Cyclone or Lacto-san fungicide and bactericide to other crops or non-target areas. Do not contaminate off-target areas or aquatic habitats when spraying or when cleaning and rinsing spray equipment or containers.

Follow all other precautions, restrictions and directions for use on the Cyclone and Lacto-san fungicide and bactericide labels carefully.
