Just to clarify, I am planning to use the B. amyloliquefaciens D747+ Cu octanoate + neem on my apple trees, as cedar-apple rust is a problem in my area and a couple of my trees are clearly quite susceptible to it. I probably really should replace them with a resistant variety, but I want to give this combination a try. Neem alone helps quite a bit with controlling the rust.
I have been fortunate to date in not having too much disease problems with my tomatoes; I prune fairly heavily and remove any leaf that looks like it might be starting some kind of disease, and I rotate where I plant solanaceous plants in my garden. Sometimes there is late blight but if that happens it's usually near the end of the season and I might just pull up that plant at that point. I have more problems with birds occasionally pecking at the fruit.
