You should not use pesticides for uses other than those that are EPA
registered. In addition to environmental damage, misuse of pesticides
can cause the rise of resistance to that pesticide in the pest that
you are trying to treat.
Combination or rotating treatments are much more effictive in the
long term than a single treatment which may be which the ridomil/bravo
combo is registered but the ridomil-only is not.
