I have been spraying daconil every week on my plant

What is the best systemic that I can use in addition to what I have been doing?

You can buy it here. I have had a good experience with this company they ship right away and have just about every chemical you need.

Ummmm...you understand that you should be alternating modes of action on your fungicides.

Thanks for the info. That eagle stuff is very expensive
50 bucks!!
Is this any good. Its from Toms web site
Bonide - Infuse Systemic Fungicide Concentrate - 1 Pint

OR: Like "nilbert" said, maybe I should get both

The Bonide has 1.55% Propiconazole (Banner Fungicide)
The Eagle has myclobutanil: a-butyl-a-(chlorophenyl)-1H-1,2,4, triazole-1propanenitrile...19.7% (also known as Systhane)

I have no idea what any of this shit is. I just want to spray the best one and not waste my money on something that wont work

Just saying what Tremor has told me. He said Eagle is a very good fungicide for pm prevention.

He said quote "Eagle is #1 for powdery mildew." end quote

I do my weekly neem oil application and PM never has a change to even form. I have done weekly applications of neem or the milk/water spray ever since a few years ago when PM killed almost everything in my garden. I dont wait for it like the last time I learned the hard way. Preventive maintenance. :)

I will be getting the neem oil. It is very inexpensive.
I will also order the eagle on eb--y
To bad tom don't have the eagle. I like to order stuff from him.
I have been spraying daconil once a week
I also have a product from Safer. The active ingredient is sulfur.
Soon I will have the neem oil
soon I will have the eagle
That's a lot of stuff
Does anyone have a suggestion on how to rotate all this?
mon. neem
every other Tue. eagle
every other Tue. Merit
wed. daconil
thurs. sulfer
fri Kelp spray
sat. Sevin
sun. day of rest for the leaves
repeat
Or, can I mix a few of these things together and get the same results?

Why are you applying Merit every other week? It should be active for about a month after each application.

You should do a test spray on a leaf or two to see if it is safe to mix a few of the products. I mix Sevin with Mosquito Barrier so maybe try to do the kelp spray with sevin on a leaf or two?

Thanks Newman, That's good advise.

I pretty much spray something every night. If I miss a night, I consider it a rest for the leaves. I might be changing my name on this site to "spraycrazy"

If you spray too often the leaves get pretty rugged looking early.

wally, the advice to switch product each time you spray is ... theory is that if you spray the same product every time, the plant becomes ammune to that product....common advice is to rotate w/ 3 different products, to achieve maximum results. Period!!! Whether fungicide, pesticide, or anything....rotate, rotate, rotate!!! Hope this helps!! Peace, Wayne
PS...2% milk at 10% milk is a good preventative for PM!!! I have heard!!!!
