First off here is a list you can look through and do some research etc. Few years old now though, but easy to find if something better has replaced it.
http://ipm.uconn.edu/documents/raw2/...lantsfinal.pdf I live in South Carolina as well so disease is a given. Last year I sprayed every single week + after every rain, sometimes even in between storms. I had been telling myself that if I just sprayed every time I should I could finally keep my plants alive till frost (which never happens here). Well I didn't (a few...like 5) so tbh, and I mean brutally honest, w/o using something "bad" you likely wont eliminate disease issues. Even in my GH I have had issues. Not as bad but still, its not like a magical shield around them like I had dreamed. The most effective products I have used are Surround - dip your transplants in this combined with (2) Bacillus amyloliquefaciens and repeat after rains. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00VXQG23O...a-311792278991 I keep trying new things every year, I will probably buy some really expensive commercial organic type of product this year. At this point I'd prolly pay $500 for a bottle of something that 100% worked. |
