Is anybody familiar with this fungicide. I'm going to start using this for the first time and curious to know how well the stuff works. Thanks, Will

Hey Will,
Aliette is primarily a fungicide used to treat for pythium & phytophthora. As good as it gets for these 2 diseases. But they're the only 2 it controls. Mix with Mancozeb & look out. These 2 are the only fungicides in the world that synergize when mixed together. And as a team, they really are amazing. I've bailed myself out of trouble with this mix before.
Mancozeb is very cheap. And mixed with Aliette (or Prodigy - same stuff) you'll have a killer broad spectrum fungicide cocktail.
But all this depends on what you're spraying for?

G, That combo would be as good a chance as any. I still have no conclusive word on what we discussed. My "experts" wanted to know if Cornell had recommended a chemical treatment.
Personally, I would use Aliette or the new Lesco-Phyte with the Mancozeb as a root drench. Phyte is a clone of the now off patent Aliette.

Hey Steve, Thanks for the info. Am I correct to assume that Aliette won't fight against powdery mildew, or bacterial wilt? What should I use?
Thanks, Will

I'm using Mancozeb + Eagle (contact + systemic). But Daconil would also be a good contact. Other systemics include Thiophanate Methyl (Cleary's 3336 or Lesco's T-Storm), Propiconazole (Banner Maxx or Spectator), etc.
It's funny that more of the many sterol inhibitting fungicides like Bayleton, Rubigan, & Prostar have never ( to my knowlege) been registered for use on cucurbits. I would wager they would all do well (they do on other plants). But don't experiment with these unless it's on an expendable plant or you have some experienced local guidance.
