I gave finally got some Quadris today alomg with a product called Headline. I've been told to use the Quadris by several people to hopefully kill the disease that has taken 2 of my plants, and i'm now trying to save my last two.
My question is, has anyone ever heard of Headline? Have you used it? What results did you get?

Thanks for responses.

And a VERY BIG THANKS goes to the gentelman that supplied me with these fungicides. I can't thank you enough! I hope I get my disease under control and get a fruit this year!

Like Quadris & Compass, Headline is another strobilurin fungicide. Here's a link to the full text specimen label:

Unlike the older & more common sterol inhibitors, the strobilurins are respiration inhibitors.

BASF wants Headline to be used in rotation with other fungicides to help manage potential resistance issues. I would be rotating with a different MOA so I'm not sure that Quadris would be my alternate of choice.

Good looking fungicide. It's an EC formulation which might make it more desirable for small scale growers like us. Easier to measure accurately. Wettable Powders require a scale which is a bother.
