Help! I just discovered leaf spot in a few of my irises.

What do I do. I sure don't want it to spread. What is the best fungal
deterrent I can give my irises. 

Francelle,

Leaf spot is not a problem in Utah, either, except when there is an unusually wet spell. The last time this occurred (prior to the  "drought" we have had for the past five years) I used a number of products (the leaf spot fungus tends to quickly develop resistance to a specific fungicide if it is applied repeatedly). The one I still have on hand, and which seemed to be competely effective in controlling the leaf spot when it was running rampant, is MICRCOP FUNGICIDE marketed under the Lilly/Miller label by the Chas. H. Lilly Co. of Portland, OR. This product is a sprayable form of Copper Sulfate, the old standby inorganic fungicide. The leaf spot fungus did not seem to develop resistance to it as happens with the organic fungicides.
