Tania,

OK, I'll bite.

In your first post you asked if you should go with the Daconil and then in the second post said it wasn't available in Canada, which I think it still true.

And when you say early and late blights, are you referring to A. solani for early and P. infestans for late?

I ask b'c both can appear either early or late in the season and if you have true Late Blight, as in P. infestans, how have you been able to continue with your tomatoes?

Chlorothalonil ( Daconil) is about the only prep available to the home gardener that has even a wee amount of protection against P. infestans.

Have you considered Mancozeb, a Mg++ containing anti-fungal which is often recommended when Daconil is not being used?

Better that Kocide and the other Cu++ containing preps, according to most folks.
