Champ WG is on the OMRI list. Use instructions for anthracnose and European canker say "Apply before fall rains.", with no other restriction. I'm not a lawyer nor do I play one on TV, but that seems to leave a wide window for interpreting applications made in summer as being within label allowance for timing. Label is at http://www.cdms.net/LDat/ld8NR000.pdf

Can anyone point me to a copper fungicide that is OMRI approved for organic farmers AND that also has a US EPA label that allows repeated applications to apples during summer. I know that I should be able to find this info on the OMRI web-site, but I found that site extremely confusing when I tried it a year or two ago. -- ************************************************************** Dave Rosenberger Professor of Plant Pathology Office: 845-691-7231 Cornell University's Hudson Valley Lab Fax: 845-691-2719 P.O.
