I am looking for some input on a preventative spray program for PM.
=When is the best time to start application? (Area: Western PA)
=What products are used?
=How often Do you apply?

I have a concentrate bottle of daconil right now, and i also read of a 10% milk mix. I have not started any sprays applications.
Thanks For the help.

Eagle every 10-14 days. There are many companion fungicides such as chlorothalonil but I used just Eagle last year with great results.

Eagle is myclobutanil. The same stuff in this:

That is what I use. I also have daconil on standby for any other issues. Got PM fast this year, so I think I will bypass the milk and hit it while I still have a chance with this.

Here is another thing...

With the systemic fungicides, how much if any will be taken in from the top? I think the answer is not much, most goes in from the bottom, but not certain.
