My gourds are failing due to fungal diseases. Brown spots on leaves and stems, similar to the rusty fungus on trees and bushes nearby. Second wet cool year in a row is the main problem, aloong with a site with poor air circulation. I have used Daconil and Aliette but they have not helped at all. I plan to move the patch next year to get better circulation, but does anyone have any fungicide suggestions?

This was a record wet July in eastern Ontario(and many other areas)and I have seen more leaf fungus that ever before.
It shows on the older leaves first and the amount varies from plant to plant.
I usually cut those old leaves off and am spraying with Bravo.So far I don't think it has done any harm,since a few old leaves won't be missed much.
