Hi, Robin--

First off, the active ingredient, potassium bicarbonate, is closely related to sodium bicarbonate (i.e. baking soda /aka/ cornell formula) which is just not all that effective against fungal foliage diseases of tomatoes.

Furthermore, there is no information on the site that I could find as to trials or tests conducted, much less any detailed info for trials with proper controls involved.

I did see that the claim that:

"In more than 200 university trials, GreenCure® has been proven to be comparable to or better than other fungicides."


Where's the hard cites for those trials, against what fungal diseases, etc.? Surely, such information would and should be included in the FAQ.

Color me skeptical.
