Re: stump rot
Hello,
I was using benomyl on my stump and stem last year. Another grower suggested
not to use that since benomyl is a systemic and could harm the plant. Captan
is not available in Ontario Canada unless you have a commercial license. Any
thoughts on this from the list members and any suggestions. andrew
