Summary:Studies were conducted to identify non-phytotoxic fungicides that would effectively control Entomosporium leaf and berry spot of saskatoon. Of 13 fungicides tested, benomyl, imazalil, myclobutanil, propiconazole, and thiophanate-methyl completely restricted in vitro radial growth of a monoconidial Entomosporium mespili isolate. Chlorothalonil, imazalil, propiconazole, and thiophanate-methyl completely inhibited conidiospore germination in vitro at 1 ppm a.i., the lowest concentration tested. In 1995, chlorothalonil and propiconazole provided the best control of Entomosporium leaf and berry spot at three orchard test sites in Alberta, Canada, while benomyl was also effective at two of these sites. Multiple applications of chlorothalonil (970 g ha-1) and propiconazole (125 g ha-1) effectively reduced disease severity at two of three test sites in 1996
