Do you fungicide regularly ? I do every 10 to 15 days. It is like insurance premium.
Your best bet is to prevent it rather than trying to fight it which often a lost effort.
OTOH, if there is a wide spread epidemic of blight in the area probably your plants are doomed. There are varieties that might do better.
