I like getting my fungicide on at the same time and since I am trying so hard to get really good coverage when fighting mites the copper seems to work better when applied along side the Permethrin, DE and Dawn. Of course getting rid of so many pests that spread diseases may have something major to do with that.

Thanks again for the formula. I had been using DE with Take Down Spray. Take Down has pyrethrin and canola oil. I left out the Dawn because I thought the oil would help with dispersing the DE. However, the dispersion of the DE using Permethrin and Dawn is much better. With the naked eye, I couldn't see the DE at all. The leaves looked green, but with a magnifying glass I could see the white layer of DE everywhere.
Hopefully the TRM problem is solved.
Thanks
