Interpretive Summary: .

Technical Abstract: There are few treatment options for boxwood blight, an introduced disease that causes substantial damage to boxwood shrubs in US nurseries and gardens. We tested 12 fungicides for their ability to control boxwood blight. Five fungicide treatments provided good protection and two treatments provided intermediate protection against the disease. Results help provide new options for growers to manage boxwood blight.
