Two years ago when a fellow INGA member passed away his widow gave me a
full 
box of Furbam which was labeled for Brown Rot. It is very black, has a
non 
attractive odor, have sprayed with it about three times this year. My
peaches are 
now ripening and the lowest amount of Brown Rot in years. Having damp
hot 
weather which promotes Brown Rot. I may get a decent crop of donut
peaches. They 
are good! 

I have a new sprayer (air blast) and have been spraying more regularly
this 
year. Whether it was better attention to spraying or the Furban is
unknown.
