So, no to the mixing other things in with the Daconil ( other than water, which actually is a chemical it's self).


I would suggest a LOT of caution in using Daconil after I read the info at the link here, too. Daconil is some serious stuff.

Imp,what the wiki article does NOT address is that Daconil is available to be used at different concentrations, several times higher than I think any of us would use for our garden tomatoes.

And I'm talking about large commercial companies that are hired by farmers, school districts, golf places,parks, etc. that are used not just for tomatoes,since Daconil is not specific for fungal diseases of tomatoes.
