Does this work well for AG's? And is it systemic? Any ideas Tremor or others? Saw it on RoseMania website.

Propiconazole. Good stuff. It is systemic. I used it once here this summer. I like it because it is an EC which I find much easier to work with than Wettable Powders or Flowables. Like Eagle/Nova/Bayleton etc it is a Sterol Inhibitor. I like SI's. Much better than Topsin/3336/T-Storm (all benzomidols).

Do be careful during flower & early fruit set. Banner is known to have growth regulating effects & may reduce flower formation. So I'd refrain from using it until sets are established. But after that, I'd say it's a nice selection.

Look to the BannerGL series (I believe it is) for fruit & vegetable production rates.

Tremor: Thanks for the info. Do you think I could use it up to two weeks pre-flower production (i.e. through the middle of June) or only after pumpkins are set?

You'd probably be OK. But I'd still use something else until after fruit set.
