The weather for most of us has put us in a really high risk environment for both foliar and soil borne disease. **It's very hot and humid, this is the perfect combination for foliar disease, if you haven't started spraying a fungicide, I would highly recommend it now. **The excessive heat has made us start watering more, wet soil, heat and humidity, along with higher organic matter in our soil is another one of those perfect recipes for soil borne disease! It's time to apply fungicides such as Companion, Actinovate, Rootshield not only as a foliar, but as soil drenches. Remember....by the time you realize that you have a disease, it is usually too late. Be proactive!!!
