Gray Mold (Beans)

Description: Gray mold is most common when flowering occurs during a cool period of high humidity. Crowded plants with a dense canopy of leaves also encourage gray mold. Infection begins in the flower and spreads to the pod.

.

Solution: Rows should be thinned to allow breezes to dry leaves. Avoid overwatering and overfertilizing with nitrogen. Apply Soap-Shield^® Fungicidal Soap as soon as flower buds can be seen, and continue applications as long as plants are flowering
