ok so I read the article and the thing that pops out to me is the treatment for ornamentals and the treatment for veggies are dif,we need to compare our weed as consumable goods like veggies not woody ornamentals like spirea or hydrangea that we don't eat. notice theres a note about veggies ?
Ornamental Plants: For fungicides to be effective, they must be applied as soon as symptoms are noticed. Product labels will provide information on how often to spray. When ranges are given, use the shorter interval during cool, damp weather. Be sure to cover both the upper and lower surfaces of the leaves.
Table 2 lists fungicides labeled for ornamental plants. Myclobutanil, propiconazole, thiophanate-methyl, and triadimefon have systemic properties and can be sprayed less often than sulfur or copper-based fungicides. When powdery mildew persists and sprays are repeated, it is recommended to rotate (alternate) fungicides to decrease the chance of fungi developing resistance.
When deciduous plants are infected, consider the season. Generally, foliar diseases occurring in late summer do little damage. The leaves have already produced food for the plant and are going to fall off soon anyway. Just be sure to rake and dispose of them as they fall.
As with any pesticide, read the label and heed all precautions. Sulfur, for example, can damage plants if applied when temperature and humidity are high.
Vegetable Plants: For information on vegetable crop disease controls and tolerant varieties, consult the Clemson Extension publication EC 570,
Home Vegetable Gardening, and other Home & Garden Information Center fact sheets.
also want to point out that sulfer is second on that list.
if you read the msds on
eagle 20 I posted you would see it being a "hazardous chemical" and listed in cali and a few other states as a carcinogen.i just think you guys are pushing a product as systemic and "safe" to smoke and eat when it isn't really all that safe.and you cant tell me it works systemically and some how the plant mysteriously grows out the chemical and its just gone at harvest.
if you treat you veg room with sulfer a few times,moms and clones/seedlings,you could most def have clean plants 3 months later with very little effort ie,a few foliar feeds/washes would clean em right up,specially with one of those fancy atomizers lol.
