FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Ranman 400SC Fungicide Receives Second URMULE
Registration in 2012
Pythium Diseases on Greenhouse Transplants Targetted
June 11, 2012 – Dorchester, Ontario – The Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) has
granted a second User Requested Minor Use Label Expansion (URMULE) for Ranman 400SC
fungicide. Control of Pythium damping-off and Pythium root rot in greenhouse transplants of tomato,
pepper, cucumber, lettuce and Brassica vegetables, have been added to the label. Ranman fungicide
previously received an URMULE in Spring 2012 for suppression of white rust on spinach.
Ranman is a Group 21 product with the active ingredient cyazofamid. It is also registered for use on
carrots, cucurbits and potatoes for several other diseases.
“With this latest registration, Ranman can now be used for control of Pythium damping-off and
Pythium root rot on greenhouse transplants of specified vegetables, at a rate of 30 millilitres per 100
litres of water,” says Janet Porchak, National Marketing Manager with UAP Canada Inc., distributors
of Ranman fungicide in Canada. Ranman should be applied as a soil drench to the growing medium
immediately after seeding.
David Strilchuk, Canada Country Manager with FMC Corporation, the marketers of Ranman in
Canada, notes that this minor use registration was supported and co-sponsored by government
stakeholders on both sides of the Canada – U.S. border. “We appreciate the collaboration by
personnel in both countries in recognition of the minor use priorities identified by both growers and
extension personnel.”
Strilchuk says Ranman fungicide should be used as part of an Integrated Pest Management program
and in rotation with other disease management products as part of an effective resistance
management strategy.
