Using Daconil
Comments (11)Carolyn, the one publication I have in front of me is the "2006 Foliar Fungicide Spray Guide for Tomatoes in North Carolina". Under the heading "Effective Chemicals" Kelly Ivors, Extension Plant Pathologist writes: "There is no SINGLE product that is effective against all important foliar tomato deseases. For example, the strobilurins give excellent control, mancozeb gives good control and chlorothalonil gives only fair control of early blight; however chlorothalonil is presently the best product for late blight control..........Therefore, it is necessary to use a combination of different products in a spray program to optimize management of the different tomato diseases that might occur." I think you'll find that recommendations in the Northeast will follow this statement since I've heard it repeated often at the Mid-Atlantic Vegetable Conference this year. Everybody is talking about FRAC codes on spray labels and how to use those codes to your advantage. I will never anymore discuss what I use on this site. I once mentioned use of Malathion for beetle control and you would have thought from the responses that I was poisoning the world....See MoreWhen to start spraying Daconil /best type of mulch and when
Comments (10)I think Carolyn was interested in something called Serenade. I wonder if she got any feedback on that. Some say it works great without the white residue. ***** Me Carolyn? No, I'm not interested in Serenade or Daconil or Actinovate or Spinosid or Messenger or whatever, b'c since I moved to this new location 9 years ago I'm in a very rural area and haven't had serious problems with foliage diseases. I did most of tomato growing one hour south near Albany and there I had to use something b'c of the high prevalence of foliage infections, and after researching I decided on Daconil and it worked very well. It's strictly an anti-fungal so one needs to ID if the foliage infection is bacterial or fungal so one doesn't expect miracles treating a bacterial foliage infection with Daconil. Here where I ( meaning Freda who does all my gardening for me since I have to use a walker after a fall in 2004 when I severed all 4 quads in my right leg) now live I use nothing.

Comments (5)thanks mulio and dickiefickle I will look for the spreader sticker. we got lots of rain again last night :( Looks like I have a few days to wait. I want to keep the blight away. So far so good. I get nervous when it rains and washes away my protection. I know some of the spray stayed on because I can see some at the tips of the leaves. I guess I can wait to see what the weather will bring. I don't want to use more chemicals than I have to. Karen...See MoreDaconil after rain?
Comments (5)To the original poster, maybe try some copper on your peppers, or better yet, copper-sulfate. I find it works well in controlling bacterial leaf spot, on peppers anyway. Once it sets in though, it is nearly impossible to fully eradicate so you just try to keep it under control till you harvest your final crop. Another product known as Serenade is about as effective on peppers in my experience. The good news is, hopefully for you too, i have yet to see pepper bacterial leaf spot hop onto my tomato plants, and i grow them side by side. There's a few potential reasons for it, but i haven't researched all of the different pathogenic bacterial strains to figure it out. Good luck. Steve...See Moredaniel_nyc
