Re: Iris Leaf Spot

I suspect that controlling a fungus disease withouth using fungicides is an impossible dream. Why not use fungicides? I achieve excellent control by spraying my iris at the same time I spray my roses. 
I use Manzate, which is a contact fungicide, every spraying. The rate is 1 tablespoon per gallon. With it I mix 1 tablespoon of Funginex, which is a systemic fungicide. I use 1 tablesoon per gallon. In addition I use 1 tablespoon of Miracid, which is put out by Miracel Grow. This latter product has had it name changed to Azalea, Camellia, and Rhodoendron fertilizer. I am not sure the latter helps but it sure doesn't hurt. I have achieved perfect blackspot control for the first time in my life. 
I must mention that on alternate weeks, I use 1/3 teaspoon per gallon  of Banner Max, instead of the Funginex. 
I am delighted with the results.

  Has anyone succeeded in controlling iris leaf spot using organic 
  means? If possible, I'd prefer to avoid using fungicides. Thank 
  you for your assistance.
