Resistance Management
SERCADIS contains fluxapyroxad, a carboxamide fungicide from the SDHI (Succinate Dehydrogenase inhibitors) mode of action group GROUP  7  FUNGICIDE.  Resistance to this fungicide and related GROUP 7 fungicides could develop from excessive use.  To minimise this risk use strictly in accordance with the label instructions and resistance management strategies that exist for any fungus listed on the label.  SERCADIS should be used in a programme that incorporates fungicides with different modes of action to that of GROUP 7 fungicides.  Apply no more than four GROUP 7 fungicides per season.  Refer to the NZCPR web site (www.nzpps.org/resistance/index.php) for more detailed information.
