I've been using Daconil (fungicide) for the past 3 years. All of a sudden, no one in my area carries it in concentrate anymore.
Any recommendations on another brand?

USMC, I run into the same thing, Wally World and Lowes used to carry it but now only carry the already mixed stuff. Only place I could find mine this year was at local garden center.

I am down to my last bottle of Daconil and haven't been able to find it in Ohio either. Lowe's has it but not in the concentrate. I use it to paint on splits ect. and am not sure what to use when this runs out.

You can use Captan powder, mix into a paste and use as a paint. I had a hard time finding Daconil also here in Kentucky. Had to order it.

Daconil is chlorothalonil, and can be found under different names (Echo, Bravo, Fung-onil) which you might be able to find. It's a topical (non-systemic) and if you can't find it, you'll probably do just as well with mancozeb, which is another topical. USMC pumpkinmaster- I know Austell is a ways off, but I'm going to be in Savannah early next week and if you really want some chlorothalonil and can't get it locally, I can bring some down with me. Let me know.

By the way, this stuff is the same as Daconil (thanks to cndadoc who read the label):
Ortho Garden Disease Control Concentrate
And, it is sold at Home Depot.

Yeah alternate Daconil with Mancozeb. Mancozeb will help stop Downy Mildew and Daconil helps fight powdery mildew.

I know you're looking for specific product but just wanted to add that milk solution and neem oil both combat powdery mildew if that's what you're worried about. I had a bad case of powdery mildew last year. This year I've been using Neem and milk and so far so good.

Eagle 20EW is the top rated systemic for Powdery Mildew. Like all systemics, Eagle should be comdined with (or rotated with) a good contact.

Downey is tan. Powdery if whitish gray. Downey starys very early. Powdery starts late.
