I'm sure they will recover but not only did it wither up the sick leaves it also left some leaf burn on some of the healthy new growth.

I will repeat again don't spray when the sun is shining.

Bill, we all know this who are seasoned growers, but it's easy to get caught up in the moment when you see that disease may get all your hard work destroyed. Don't beat yourself up too much. I bet 90% of us have done the same thing at some point, even when we knew about it.
