I always start with 5.5 oz of the 6% Clorox bleach and increase it if it doesn't do the job or if the leaves are wet. I always like to start with the mildest mix just in case the bleach is stronger than indicated and I have run in to that a few times so it is better to be safe than sorry. You can always use it again the next day if necessary. The 7 oz. of 6% bleach would be a strong enough solution to work with most problems except Late Blight. Late Blight has to be sprayed as soon as you recognize the symptoms and every day for the next few days in order to stop it from spreading. I have used as much as 10 oz. of the 6% but leaf burn will almost definitely be a factor.
