Infuse Systemic fungicide. Any comments on the use of this product? Recommendations on a good fungicide.

1.55% propiconazole, it seems like it would work well for your foliar issues like powdery mildew and anthracnose. Most growers are using chlorothalonil based products instead such as Bravo, Daconil, Fungonil etc.. as a contact preventative. Make sure you use a product for soil bourne disease like Topsin, Subdue or Agrifos. With all of the wet weather lately your chances of contracting fusarium, pythium, phytopthora is greatly increased.

A good systemic for pm but detrimental to the myco. It stopped pm in its tracks for me. Being systemic you don't have to be as concerned with covering the entire plant including under all leaves like you must do with a contact fungicide like daconil. I kept finding pm on the underside of leaves where its hard to spray but a systemic will protect the entire plant. On the down side, propiconazole is one of a few products that is listed as detrimental to rootshield (trichoderma) I consider it the "nuclear" option for your plant, effective but with possible side effects.
