Has anyone used this? It only lists Powdery Mildew as a tomato target of the product, but some people claim it is effective on other foliage diseases. The biggest advantage that I see is that it is effective for 10-14 days and "rainproof" after drying. That would be a blessing here. Active ingredient is Myclobutanil.
Are there other fungicides that are rainproof? Maybe Neem oil, although I'm leery of Neem since it can gunk up spray equipment. -GG |

The link above mentions it is toxic to bees and earthworms. It might not be much better than Daconil, anyway. You could try experimenting with various spreader/sticker products in your spray as well. |

My farm store sells a cheap brand. I have not tested it extensively against washing away in the rain.
