The samples I sent in show my patch is infected with gummy stem blight. It is recommended I use a product called Quadris (azoxystrobin). Has anybody used this? Where can I get it? I also have powdery mildew, which I was informed is a gateway for gummy stem blight. I have used Daconil, Eagle, and liquid seaweed to prevent it but it had little effect. Thanks to all that helped.

George,
I used Dithane M-45 several years ago and it seemed to work well...halted an advanced case anyway.

Some of the old timers gave me recipe to get rid of white powdery mildew which worked well for me. A 2 gallon make-up will consist of 3 TBS. clorox (bleach)+ 6 TBS baking soda and 1/2 teaspoon of dawn dish soap. If you still have the powdery mildew when you read this thread, try using this formulation as foliar spray on top of and underneath the surface of the leaves. Let me know how you made out.

Thanks, Will
