Hi, Robin--

First off, the active ingredient, potassium bicarbonate, is closely related to sodium bicarbonate (i.e. baking soda /aka/ cornell formula) which is just not all that effective against fungal foliage diseases of tomatoes.

Furthermore, there is no information on the site that I could find as to trials or tests conducted, much less any detailed info for trials with proper controls involved.

I did see that the claim that:

"In more than 200 university trials, GreenCure® has been proven to be comparable to or better than other fungicides."[/color][/i]

Where's the hard cites for those trials, against what fungal diseases, etc.? Surely, such information would and should be included in the FAQ.

Color me skeptical.
