Note: Not all indicated timings may be necessary for disease control.
| Disease | Dormant | Early-bloom | Mid-bloom | Late-bloom | Preharvest | Postharvest |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Alternaria fruit rot | 0 | 11 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 |
| Gray mold (botrytis fruit rot) |
0 | ND | ND | ND | 12 | 3 |
| Rating: 3 = most effective, 2 = moderately effective, 1 = least effective, and 0 = ineffective (ND = No data). |
| 1 Pomegranates have a long, protracted bloom, thus apply when conditions are favorable for disease (i.e., wet conditions). |
| 2 Preharvest treatments are highly variable in efficacy due to difficulty in fungicide coverage into the fruit "crown". |
