Cercospora summer black stem and leaf spot, a fungal disease of alfalfa, has been associated with a stand decline problem in La Paz County. In a continuation of a study initiated in 1987, we examined the ability of three fungicides to control the disease and decline problem. Bravo, Funginex, and Kocide significantly reduced the severity of Cercospora summer black stem and leaf spot. In addition, significant increases in yield were recorded on plots treated with fungicides.Series/Report no.
