The Azanapthalene Working Group met on February 20, 2015 to review the 2014 monitoring results and discuss the 2015 use recommendations.  The minutes of this meeting are now available on the AZN Working Group webpage.  The 2015 use recommendations remain the same as in 2014.

We are excited to bring you the new FRAC Website!  It has a very similar look and feel to the previous version but brings key information to the webpages themselves for easy reference. Some of the key changes are:

1. The 2015 Use Recommendations are found by crop under the General Use Recommendations tab within each Working Group.  The entire pdf containing the previous year's monitoring results and the current year's use recommendations can still be found at the bottom of the General Use Recommendations page.
2. We've included a Resistance Overview Section for people who are new to the science of fungicide resistance and its management.  For more information, our 3 monographs can still be found under the Publications tab.
3. Information on the MOA Expert Panel and how active ingredients get included in the FRAC Code List has been included.
4. The Benzimidazole Expert Fora has been updated.
5. A new search feature to find pertinent information is now located at the top right of each page. 

For comments or suggestions, please contact Lisa Hoffman.

The AP, CAA, SBI, SDHI and QoI Working Groups met during FRAC WG week Dec. 8-10, 2014. Summaries of the monitoring results presented during each WG meeting as well as the 2015 use recommendations are published as pdfs on the individual WG General Use Recommendations webpage.

The AZN WG meeting minutes will be available shortly.

Both the FRAC Code List and the FRAC Mode of Action Poster were updated in January, 2015. Three new compounds were included in the list.

1.  Dimethaclone was added to the dicarboximides (E3: Map/Histidine-Kinase in osmotic signal transduction; FRAC Code number 2).  
2.  A new group within melanin biosynthesis was created for tolprocarb  (I3: polyketide synthase in melanin biosynthesis; FRAC Code number 16.3).  
3.  A new unknown group was created for picarbutrazox (FRAC Code number U17).

The FRAC Mode of Action Poster was also updated to reflect these additions.

The FRAC Pathogen Risk List was expanded and updated to reflect our evolving understanding of resistance development.  Species-specific information was included to improve clarity.
