I agree with you Dave. It's not like you're drenching the
plant where it can't dry right away. I also use 2 Tablespoons and a fungicide
per gallon. You have grown some very large pumpkins to prove it.

Steve,
I have been
having luck spraying late at night...I use 2 Tablespoons of Triazicide, 2
Tablespoons of Sevin or Thiodan and 2 Tablespoons of Soad Shield (natural
fungicide) per gallon. I think it helps to spray late at night.

the past. I've had no leaf
damage as a result of this product.
