I have had success with Daconil one year and the next year Daconil did not help against leaf disease. Daconil will stop the spread of some leaf diseases, it will not kill the pathogens, but it does stop the disease from spreading. So against some diseases daconil will work, it is trial and error process.

I had some success with hydrogen peroxide last year using a 50/50 mix with water. I plan on using hydrogen peroxide again this year. I think hydrogen peroxide does kill some fungal diseases, but requires frequent applications, maybe once every week or two.
