Indar is much more affective than Captan for the control of blossum blight and brown rot.  Here in humid southeastern NY, once I have the pathogen under control I can often control BR with a single application of Indar a month before the first peaches ripen.  With plums a seperate application may be necessary a month before the particular variety ripens.  In very wet seasons an extra application or 2 may be necessary, but I never have to spray within a month of harvest anything besides cherries.

 

I am interested in the efficacy of Pristine.  Has anyone out there tried reduced applications of that substance to control BR in their orchards?
