Just ordered some Agri-fos, and label for GSB on melons said 1-3 quarts per 100 gal. So 3 qts per 100 would roughly be a oz per gallon, and 1 qt per 100 gallon would be .3oz per gallon. What have any of you used, not sure, never used Agri-fos and don't want to burn. Thanks

Hi Todd
I have been using it at 1 oz per gallon. It seems to mix well with everything and is gentle on the plants.

Thanks big moon, do you think it works pretty well for you. Holloway told me about it, so I'm looking forward to adding it to the rotation. Seems all I have done this year is spray fungicide in between rains!

This is my first year using it on the melons. I have used it on the pumpkins before and it always seems to have helped keep disease down. I love the idea of Agri-Fos, because if nothing else it is a great source of phosphorous for your plant!

One ounce per gallon is the safe upper limit set by manufactures. Be sure to read the application directions. Follow the instructions closely if you are using a copper based fungicide or are scheduled to use a copper based fungicide. The copper - potassium phosphite combination can kill plants.

Thanks Mr. Bright, Switch and Daconil, are the only fungicides I used that are not biological, so I am assuming I will be ok. I think??

That's nice to know about the copper. Man I would hate to lose a plant that way. It seems that copper is one you always have to look out for.
