Who is using a systemic fungicide for PM, and what kind?

Joliet, IL

banner maxx, it has worked great all season. plants
on the other side of the patch went down hard to PM
that a friend of mine grew with out using the banner maxx.
even with it present in the patch, the treated plants
have had very little PM with only very old beaten up leaves
getting affected. and even with it on the old leaves
and not removing them after my pumpkin split, the PM
hasn't affected the healthy leaves still to this day
and i have 7 nicely growing halloween pumpkins on some
pop up tertiaries. i sprayed every other week with
banner maxx one week and daconil the following week.
banner maxx is not recommended to be used until about
2 weeks after fruit set.

Banner worked for me as well ...... I mixed Daconil and Banner Maxx together to apply, great results.

Eagle & Banner Maxx both. Neither work well if PM arrives before the first spray.

I wouldn't use either by themselves. It's good practice to add a contact fungicide to a systemic at every other spray at least. This lengthens the residual & lessens the chances of resistance.
