Fungicides for gardeners (Adobe Acrobat pdf document outlining fungicides available to gardeners) Links Something else I like about Fungus Fighter Plus is that it’s safe to use around insects and other beneficial organisms, making it a safe choice that won’t disrupt your garden’s ecosystem. Fungus Fighter: at a glance Spray the whole plant evenly until just before run-off (before drips start to form at the tips of leaves).Most powdery mildew fungi have a host range restricted to a relatively few, related plants, but these can include wild relatives which can be sources of infection, e.g. wild crab apples may be sources of infection for apple orchards. Good where infection is very severe, the box is not of high value, or it threatens other box plantings.) Do not over-fertilise (especially not too much nitrogen) as succulent growth is particularly susceptible The RHS believes that avoiding pests, diseases and weeds by good practice in cultivation methods, cultivar selection, garden hygiene and encouraging or introducing natural enemies, should be the first line of control. If chemical controls are used, they should be used only in a minimal and highly targeted manner. Non-chemical control PLEASE NOTE: Turf, Wildflower Turf, Sedum Mats and bulk Bag products are delivered on a pallet and can only be delivered to the kerbside.

Avoid planting box in the same place for several years (spores can remain viable on fallen leaf litter for at least 6 years) Be sure to follow the outlined instructions from the manufacturer to the letter, including how and when to use the fungicide. For instance, if it’s recommended for use between March and September; or whether it needs to be applied using a clean garden pressure sprayer. Pros Yes, there are limitless fungicides available on the market today. Unfortunately, the chasm between the performance of established brands and conventional sprays has no Venn diagram with a bit of an overlap. Therefore, forget the price and brand, and instead, focus on crucial information and features, as outlined below. IngredientsA small portion (15ml) of the concentrate makes up to 15 litres of solution, so it provides excellent value for money. Apply a fertiliser (general-purpose or one developed for box) in spring or summer to help plants recover from the stress of leaf loss

The RHS believes that avoiding pests, diseases and weeds by good practice in cultivation methods, cultivar selection, garden hygiene and encouraging or introducing natural enemies, should be the first line of control. If chemical controls are used, they should be used only in a minimal and highly targeted manner. Always settle for a fungicide that matches your specific needs. And when applying, follow the instructed procedure and follow all the laid out precautions. Obviously, don’t go spraying fungicides near streams or ponds, unless it’s labelled for such use. Destroying fallen infected leaves in autumn will reduce the amount of infectious spores next spring. Promptly pruning out infected shoots will reduce subsequent infection. The fungicide employs a smart mechanism – Fungus Fighter Plus – in controlling diseases for three weeks. For effective results, as with all fungicides, we recommend applying Provanto at the first signs of disease (either in the late evening or early morning) and try to avoid spraying on sunny days. Follow the stipulated guidelines to the letter when spraying both edibles and ornamental plants, and don’t forget to read the outlined precautions on the label before use and act accordingly. ProsTo minimise the risk of resistant fungal strains, apply a maximum of 4 applications per crop per growing season. Use at times of high disease risk. WITHHOLDING PERIOD: Remove a layer of soil under the plants to get rid of infected leaf fragments. Replace with fresh soil (do not overfill) Bayer Fungus Fighter Plus and Bayer Fungus Fighter Concentrate have label recommendations for box blight and can be applied up to six times per year. If treatment is needed in spring, consider saving some applications in case it recurs in the autumn. Triticonazole (Fungus Clear Ultra) is labelled for the control of other diseases on ornamentals and could therefore be used legally on box (at the owner's risk) to try and control box blight. Follow label instructions for use (avoid spraying when rain is expected, but also in bright sunshine or when plants are dry at the roots). Then rinse sprayer thoroughly after use and dispose of washings safely by pouring onto bare soil. Once the bottle is empty, RINSE CONTAINER THOROUGHLY before disposal by manually rinsing three times. This can be done by filling the dosing chamber with clean water, replacing the cap and tipping the water into the bottle. Repeat steps 1 – 4 above to add washings to sprayer at time of filling and dispose of empty container safely.
