Ridomil tolerance

Abstract

Ridomil is a systemic fungicide which is very effective in controlling plant diseases caused by the Phytophthora fungus and other related fungus species. At Keravat we have been testing Ridomil for two years against black pod disease of cocoa and have found it to be the best of the new systemic fungicides. It is slightly more cost effective than copper fungicides and is by far the best treatment for cocoa canker and seedling blight.
