Re: CULT: Fungal Leaf Spot

Correction on the correction.  Benomyl has become Bonomyl due to issue Florida Greenhoiuse had with crop damage from impurities a couple decades back.  They, DuPont, changed the name to insure that no one used the old stuff by mistake, but is still  the same chimical.


I have used dish soap as well.  I don't really see the point of wasting expensive spreader sticker on the weeds.  However, I did notice the first time I used soap a couple of times in a row when spraying that it caused the new foliage to lose it's waxiness and start to rot and spread down into the fan.  Once I stopped spraying with the soap and used a spreader sticker everything was fine and never had the problem again.  That was a few years back.

Hi Colleen

I read Paul Archer's posts and think he also misspelled the systemic.

I think he means Benomyl (which I use) [Methyl 
1-(butylcarbamoyl)-2-benzimidazolecarbamate]

DuPont produces it under the trade name Benlate.


As to spreader stickers, almost any of them will do, even liguid soap 
added to the spray works fine.
