You don't want to spray the same fungicide back to back. When you apply the same fungicide more than twice in a row the disease develops resistance. Always alternate with a different fungicide from a different FRAC code group. Copper is a good alternate... Bob.

  I have been spraying with a Fungicide, Daconil, every 7 days. I have also been removing diseased leaves or branches.  I have seen a dramatic decline in the amount I have been removing. From a plastic shopping bag a row to one per bag in the whole building.

My question is this, do I continue with only one spray or to I flip flop between a copper spray and the Daconil? 

I still have a problem with some of my Cherry tomatoes, but they are coming around. Just not as fast as the others.

Now I am finding some Tomato Fruitworm or Varigated Climbing Cutworm damage. I have only found two worms, but they were found a week apart.  I may have to start spraying with BtK to kill them too.  I have never had these before.

Last year was so much easier. I planted, watered, weeded and harvested. My biggest problem was what price to charge for them.  I guess if you grow your building 4 times as big, you get 4 times the problems.

Thanks again for all the help.

Jay
