The 2024 updated Fungicide "Cheat Sheet" provides a list of fungicides (both conventional and organic) that are labeled in broccoli and other common Cole crops, for which Cornell research has shown to be effective for control of Alternaria leaf spot (ALS) and head rot. Many tips on how to build a successful fungicide program for ALS and downy mildew that adheres to best fungicide resistance management are included.

NOTE: Due to known development of ALS developing fungicide resistance to FRAC 7c, Cornell is not longer recommending FRAC 7 fungicides for managing ALS and head rot in brassicas.

==> Due to lack of funding, we were unable to continue our research on Alternaria leaf spot and head rot in broccoli in 2024 or 2025. Thus, our recommendations for control of this disease remain the same.
