Anyone using Zerotol for powdery mildew prevention/control? I've been using Daconil but I bought some Zerotol for treating a split vine.

Zerotol is ok for killing powdery mildew but has no residual effects. Daconil stays on the leaves until washed off preventing new infections. Use both for best protection Zerotol to kill then Daconil for protection

Yes, I use it for PM and agree with Wilbur. Its just one part of a rotation. An advantage to using Zerotol is that it will also kill soft-bodied insects including spider mites (not their eggs though) and aphids on contact and also helps with overall disease control.

Don't get it on your hands.
Regardless what the consensus is, I bought some about 20 years ago and the labels on the 2.5 gal or bigger got dissolved by the product, tipped over in my back seat. I uprighted it and a few minutes later, my fingers/hands turned white and have never been the same since, except for the color. eg

If you use daconil also use manzate at the same time, they work well together
