Valent USA Corp. just announced that EPA has approved the drip irrigation label for Presidio on pepper and other fruiting vegetables, curcurbits, brassicas, and leafy vegetables. This will be significant for growers that have had problems with Phytophthora capsici crown rot on pepper and summer squash. This application method will not control downy mildew on cucurbits or other foliar diseases. The Presidio label is available here.
