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.
Thank you for the information, but...

Correction to the correction to the correction:

Ok, so you do use a product called Bonomyl. But, it is not the same chemical as Benomyl.

from:

Sometimes companies seem to want to fool us into thinking we have bought something that we have not. The one that comes to mind is Bonides Bonomyl fungicide which sounds a lot like the banned fungicide Benomyl which was the same as DuPonts Benlate. Bonomyl is a pretty good fungicide, since some searching as I have described above, finds that it is really the same as Clearys 3337.

and from:

http://householdproducts.nlm.nih.gov/cgi-bin/household/brands? tbl=brands&id=2015090

Bonomyl is:

Dimethyl (1,2-phenylene)bis(iminocarbonothioyl)bis(carbamate

different than Benomyl.

My apologies for confusing the issue by mistakenly claiming a misspelling. I should have checked further before emailing.

Benomyl may not be available in the US anymore.

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.
