I use thuricide, the kurstaki variety. I also use spinosad, which can be called conserve. I usually tank mix the two. I also use liquid sevin and pyrethrum. The dust form of sevin is a good product but very hard to get uniform complete coverage. I know some folks here use malathion. These are for insects. I will some times tank mix insecticide with fungicide. Ortho garden disease control, which is chlorothalonil, or Daconil. I tried the organic approach for a couple seasons. Too heavy insect pressure where I grow. If you use a pump sprayer, either a back pack or hand can, you can mix chemicals and get good control. A lot of folks knock these chemicals and would advise against their use. If you read the label and don't deviate from the mix rate, and mix and apply accurately, they are basically harmless when dry.
