It is better to use more than just one fungicide. I use Biological Companion and Fosphite, alternating them, but if fungus show up on your plants the fungicide program will have to change to control them. If they get hard to control switch to systemic fungicides.

Immunox is 1.55% myclobutanil. Eagle is 19.7% myclobutanil.

Find something with manganese and zinc in the ingredients such as Manzate or Mancozeb.

Agri-phos and TKO phosphite are composed of mono- and d-potassium salts of phosphoric acid.

These are the top 3 disease treatments many heavy hitters use in rotation.

Matt DeBacco recommends Aliette, Tanos, and Presidio.

Use a biological, a contact and systemic fungicide at each spraying. Use different systemic in rotation for best results. Daconil is a good contact. Immunox is a good systemic but will loose effectiveness with continued use.

Myclobutanil does NOT control downy mildew. My bad.

Captan will, however.
