Should You Always Use Fungicides?

This presentation was made by Amy Peltier.  One of her first posters pretty much explained what to do and how.  The most important thing to know is the relative susceptibility of your variety.  Susceptible varieties need to be treated.
 This poster shows that treating areas with no disease present seldom pays.  The bar on the right says that treating with disease present works every time. 
 Advice on what to think about in your decision making about fungicides.  Also keep in mind the reason we are concerned is that fungicide resistance is inevitable.  Lets put it off as long as possible.
