What Marsha was asking, and what we need explained is the mechanism by which Daconil makes it more likely for PSV to infect the potato plants. What action(s) of Daconil make it likely to cause the viroid to successfully thrive on potatoes? Why would a chemical coating to prevent attachments of fungal spores make it more attractive to viruses?
I just did in post #46, relative to primarily tomato plants, since this is ahem, Tomatoville but maybe you didn't see it yet.
