It is shaping up to be what should/could be a fungicide application year in the Tropical Slum of the Ghetto...
The list of products seems exhaustive but in reality most of them only contain one or two of the active ingredients out of the three groups(modes of action).
Surprisingly it doesn't seem to matter what crop(the commonly grown ones) you use them on, the fungicides brands are going consist of one of the major groups, 3 and 7 or eleven.....
Bravo/Echo(Chlorothalonil) a group M5 has some of the same registered uses as some of the other chemistry but no one seems to use it anymore, why? Because it doesn't cost enough? Therefore how could it be any good!
Note the group... wouldn't it be a good rotation away from what has become the old standby groups of 3, 7 and 11?
It may not be as simple as I stated it but its just an observation from an "officially" uneducated Sandbox Farmer from the Slum of the Ghetto.
