Has anyone used this and had success? I tried finding reviews online with no success, and this is what the lady at the nursery recommended. I got a mild case of PM, and hope this will help. Next year I plan on tryng Eagle, but this is what I have for now. I also alternate with Mancozeb and Daconil.

I will let you know how the eagle works out. this is my first year using it. I also alternate with daconil and safer
I get PM every year. real bad. If I don't get it this year then the eagle is worth every penny, and then some.

Thanks Wally. Did other fungicides fail you in the past?

I use Infuse as part of my antifungal program on a rotating basis with daconil, mancozeb, funginex and benomyl. I use Infuse lightly as it can harm mycorhizza and has a high potential for resistance to develope. When used with other antifungals, this tendency is minimized. I've used this program for the last 2 years with no fungal diseases in my patch (so far).

Thanks cndadoc, if I understand correctly you use 3 systemics and 2 contacts? How often are rotations and do you use a contact and systemic during the same week? I'm just a little confused on rotations. Thanks

I have used a contact in the past. but never had a regular schedule. Not very effective.
This is my first year on a schedule. I have a systemic and 2 contacts for the PM I have a systemic and 3 contacts for the bugs I am constantly rotating all of these on a regular schedule. That's 7 different chemicals.
I call my patch Three Mile Island.

At present, I'm spraying infuse, funginex and benomyl. I'm rotating them on a weekly basis (so each gets used every 3 weeks). By mid August, I'll start using the mancozeb and daconil for powdery mildew control. I also have a copper spray in reserve to use as a spot treatment for any small localized problems that may arise, although using this program, I didn't have to use it last year. For bugs, I'm rotating malathion, cygon 2-E and merit on a weekly basis (each every 3 weeks). I keep sevin in reserve for any spot treatments, although last year I used it only once early in the season for cucumber bettles. This year I've only seen 1 of these so far.

Infuse is a nice systemic product, use it with conffidence that it will work, I would still use a ccontact weekly.

Thanks M2B. T
This might sound dumb, but if I used my contact last night and it poured rain all night, would it be safe to use again today? From what I understand it washes off.
