Discussion: This study slightly conflicts with the report by Halley et al, 2004 that showed some pasmo disease tolerance from Omega cultivar. The report also shows that in addition to azoxystrobin fungicide, pyraclostrobin and mancozeb fungicide are efficacious to pasmo disease. BASF has reported the health benefits of pyraclostrobin fungicide on several crops and is planning future evaluations on flax. Mancozeb fungicide is an older chemistry and may be cost effective to include with management strategies that could include multiple applications for pasmo control. Including mancozeb with herbicide applications should be investigated. No fungicides are currently labeled for control of pasmo but with a substantial acreage planted to flax in North Dakota and southern Canada and the widespread area reported to support pasmo disease future research is warranted. The contrast in the effectiveness of the fungicides between two years shows that further research will be needed to determine when fungicide application is warranted and economical. The fungicide portion of this study will be repeated in 2006 to increase the data base.
