I would like to know where I can buy this, as no one locally has it.

Try to find a farm/agricultural store in your area; the kind of place that sells chicken feed & tractor parts. They usually have it, but I've never seen it at the large centers (Home Depot, Lowes, etc.).

one thing I have done is use straight daconil on the stems. Just an idea I didnt notice any burn or anything from it. It worked really well for me last year, and looks to have helped eith the big one this year. just another alternative.

that is how I did it. I dont know how good of advice it is to tell you to use it, but it worked for me. It is some potent broad spectrum stuff....that is why I decided to try it.

Straight Daconil might not be as far off as it appears. With Captan, I'm sure most people use much more than the recommended rate. If it doesn't seem to burn it may not be a bad idea; not that you'd want to coat your entire plant, but for problem spots such as soft stems, it may be worth a try.
