iprodione (Rovral/Nevado/etc.) dicarboximide (2) systemic (local) multi-site low  
fuopyram/trifloxystrobin (Luna Sensation) SDHI4 (7)/QoI5 (11) systemic (local) multi-site medium postharvest on fruit
metconazole (Quash) DMI2-triazole (3) systemic (local) single-site high  
mefenoxam (Ridomil Gold) acylalanine (4) systemic single-site high  
myclobutanil (Rally) DMI2-triazole (3) systemic (local) single-site high  
penthiopyrad (Fontelis) SDHI4 (7) systemic (local) single-site high

propiconazole (Bumper/etc.) DMI2-triazole (3) systemic (local) single-site high pre- and postharvest
quinoxyfen (Quintec) quinoline (13) — — medium  
sulfur inorganic (M2) contact multi-site low highly toxic to native strains of western predatory mite (Galendromus occidentalis) and to parasites
tebuconazole (Elite/etc.) DMI2-triazole (3) systemic (local) single-site high pre- and postharvest
tebuconazole/trifloxystrobin (Adament) DMI2-triazole/strobilurin (3/11) systemic (local)/contact single-site medium  
thiophanate-methyl (Topsin-M,etc.) MBC3 (1) systemic (local) single-site very high  
triflumizole (Procure) DMI2-imidazole (3) systemic (local) single-site high  
1 Group numbers are assigned by the Fungicide Resistance Action Committee (FRAC) according to different modes of actions (for more information, see http://www.frac.info/). Fungicides with a different group number are suitable to alternate in a resistance management program. In California, make no more than one application of fungicides with MODE-OF-ACTION GROUP numbers 1, 4, 9, 11, or 17 before rotating to a fungicide with a different MODE-OF-ACTION GROUP number; for fungicides with other Group numbers, make no more than two consecutive applications before rotating to fungicide with a different MODE-OF-ACTION GROUP number.
2 DMI = demethylation (sterol) inhibitor
3 MBC = Methyl Benzimidazole Carbamate
4  SDHI = Succinate Dehydrogenase Inhibitor
5 QoI = Quinone outside Inhibitor
