Mark,
We were just told of groundwater being contaminated by Dacthal here in New
Jersey last summer. It will probably end up being banned in this area (only
a matter of time). Either it is not breaking down, or the chemicals it
breaks down into are nasty. It maybe a good idea to look for something a
little gentler on the environment (good luck).

Thanks for the info Tristand. I looked it up and found it being
manufactured by Amvac Chemical. The product label for Dacthal looks very
good and covers all the veggies and melons I grow. Can you tell me any more
about it? Surely it can't cost any more than Sandea made by Gowan. The
sales rep. said a 10 oz. bottle would cost approx. $400 and would cover my 5
acres twice - cough cough.... :(
Any of the rest of you used Dacthal?
Thanks
